Tonight I worked out at the "leisure center," a small gym specifically for faculty and faculty families. I was sweating away on a precor machine while two teen boys lifted weights and watched MTV (the music video channel, not the Lebanese news channel), as teen boys often like to do. They finished their workouts, left, and a video by P!nk began airing. Now I'm no prude, but this video made Madonna's Truth or Dare* look like a Hallmark channel Christmas movie. So I'm sweaty, alone in the gym, and this verging-on-porn video is playing. Of course you know what happens next. Two faculty members walk in, nod at me, look at the television screen, look down, and say nothing. Awkward. And to think, the Sheikh was just on campus two days ago. Glad he didn't visit the leisure center.
*Totally showing my age with this reference. At least I spelled P!nk's name right.
