Most mornings I go to the local YMCA to exercise. One morning there was a big man working out on the stair climbing machine. He was really climbing stairs. I did my time on the treadmill and he was still climbing. I went to another machine to continue my work out. He was still climbing. I wondered what motivated him to work so vigorously.

He finally finished and as he walked by where I was working out, I said to him, "You were really climbing those stairs."

His reply, "Yeah, I was."

I asked, "What were you going to do when you got to the top?"

"Grab a pie."
