The Familiar

I was at my gym last evening, using the chest machine, when a guy stopped in front of me. He had a pony tail and a hair net, big mothafucka muscles and a bottle probably containing the latest creatine/muscle-regenerator product. He asked if he could take turns with me and, when I stood up, he laughed at my T-shit. My T-shirt says "Evil begets Evil, Good begets Good". He liked that.

Later, when I was exercising my shoulders, he came up to me and, in all seriousness, said 'Your T-shirt says on its front "Evil begets Evil and Good begets Good", but what it should say in the back is "Familiarity breeds Contempt". I smiled nervously back and told him I'd get the slogan added to my T-shirt.

Was he having a go at me? Or was he making a comment on what it's like to use a gym every single day of your life?
