Are you Kurt?

I had left the symphony happy hour (see below) and I was going to meet up with a friend. Due to conflicting schedules, I was unable to meet up with her till about 9:00. I had roughly 2 1/2 hours to kill before we could meet up, so I was looking for something to do. I knew the Blackhawks were playing tonight, so was looking for a place to watch the game. As I was driving, I spotted a Snap 24 / 7 fitness. I had a workout shirt (no shorts, just jeans), so I decided to get a quick workout. Because i was going to meet someone afterwards, I wanted to make sure I wasn't a sweating pig. As a result, I took several breaks. I sat down on a machine right by a table where a woman was sitting. She was in workout clothes and I could tell she was waiting for someone. She looked at me for a second and asked with an unsure tone "Are you Kurt?" Have you ever had anyone give you a real nice compliment without meaning to? Sensing this may be one of these moments, I paused, closed my eyes, and said "I'm going to play this out in my head...is Kurt the name of your personal trainer?" She said yes!!! That's right folks, a woman (a pretty woman at that) mistook me for a personal trainer. My reaction to this was similar to Tiger sinking a 50' putt to win the Master's. I was pumping my fist, exposing my easy to be mistaken for biceps, and I spent the next twenty minutes looking at myself in the mirror with my lungs inhaled with air. If anyone needs me, I'll be drinking a protein shake!
