I was coming back from a brief afternoon workout at 24-Hour Fitness, and my eye caught a sign for exercise-focused holiday gifts offered by the gym.

At the top of the sign was a single line so amazing that it caused me to run (well, to limp, since I had a minor mishap on the elliptical machine today…and by mishap, I mean I got excited when the Gin Blossoms came on my iPod and I lost my rhythm and stumbled off the foot pad…sorry, guys, I’m taken…) back to my computer:

No kidding?  Because a $99 gift certificate at that other gym is $300!  What a steal!
