This is a story that must be told. I know I just posted a random story about nothing yesterday but this one needs to be told immediately before I lose the feeling I just experienced. Let me set the scene.

After work I go to the YMCA for some exercise. I was really excited about the steam room and getting a good sweat going. I spend some time lifting weights, then I play some basketball and then I head off to the steam room. The steamroom is everything I thought it would be. The menthol was solid and the temperature was perfect. For those of you that don’t know the steamroom is a place where men get naked and sit around. I knew this going into it but I selected to wear pants. I have a strict naked stranger rule. The size of the room is probably 4 x 8 and I go and sit in the back corner. I put a towel over my head and then let my mind wander. A few minutes later I feel a drip on my head, I didn’t really think much of it since there is normally water dripping from the ceilings. A few minutes after that I feel water hitting the side of my face. I thought that was odd. I took the towel off and turned to see a mans goodie package right in my friggin face. This dude was standing up, completely naked, stretching is upper body. He would twist his body to the left and then violently twist to the right slinging water on anything that was in his way. I have prayed to God that the water came from his upper body but there is no way to really tell.  I didn’t know what to do but stare, I tried to pry my eyes away but I was stunned. Back and forth, back and forth , back and forth he went.  I eventually found the strength to cover my head with my towel and try to cope with what just happened. I’ve been in locker rooms before, I understand men and nakedness, but when a man is pretending to be a naked helicopter 12 inches from me I cross the line.  The moral of the story is this, if you are going sit in a room where naked men are stretching make it your priority to always keep your head on a swivel. Be alert and when a man stands up to do naked jumping jacks you run for your life and don’t look back.
