Few years back, some of my siblings took a trip with their friends. My brother Dan was kind of known for his fanatical weight lifting, so my sister Becky stuck a dumbbell in his backpack as a prank. Dan starts to put the pack on, realizes it's heavy and unbalanced, opens it and finds the weight.

Not realizing that it's a prank, his buddy Dave Buckler says "Wait, you're bringing that on the trail?!"

Without missing a beat, Dan responds that yes, how else is he going to keep lifting?

With a look of utter despair, Dave says "no wonder you Larsons are so fit, you're crazy! I'll never catch up with you!"
