🎆 A New Year

My New Year Resolution for 2024 is 3840 x 2160.

      As a new year resolution, I, like millions of others, decided to join a gym and hire a trainer. After some warm-up, the trainer brought me to the equipment, a vertical row machine. He showed me how to use the device and suggested that I exercise one arm at a time. 

Looking at my physique (if I can call that), he decided that the right weight would be 50 pounds, but I was stubborn, so I asked him to increase it to 70 pounds. The trainer said it would be too much, but I insisted.

I started the exercise just as he suggested. I was able to pull with one arm quickly and finished 12 reps in no time. The trainer looked surprised.

Then I switched the arm. And suddenly the weights feel too heavy. I could hardly pull the weights. With much effort, I was able to finish 4 reps, but couldn't finish the 5th one.

I started wondering why it was that I can pull the weights easily with one hand but was struggling so badly with the other. That's when it hit me

"I have been single for too long."

So I went to my friend's New Year’s Day party. There were hundreds of people invited, and holiday music was playing.

A few of them were playing cards. Others were shooting billiards. 

Yet another group is sitting around a warm fire telling stories. 

Everyone seems to be having a wonderful time. 

Realizing I was hungry, I went to get in a large queue and started chatting with my friend. 

After many minutes, I realized I was not in the food line at all. 

So I asked my friend if this was the right line. "Oh, no," he said...

"This is the punchline.”
