Catching the "running"

I had to share something funny that happened this morning.  We were doing our normal Sat a.m. routine.  Went to the gym, hit Einsteins for our bagels and coffee / OJ, and then went over to Apex for Dylan's freerunning class.  I always get a honey whole wheat bagel thin with low fat cream cheese, the boys get bagel poppers (usually cinnamon sugar), and James gets a plain bagel with plain or strawberry cream cheese.  So this morning, I finished my bagel thin and reached over to take a little taste of James' strawberry cream cheese, and he was playing like he was grossed out by my "gym hands".  I said that he was using his hands more at the gym since he used machines the whole time and i spent time running.  So he said I had runners hands and he didn't want to catch it.  Now, if you have ever seen Ralphie Mae's standup, he talks about his redneck friends asking him about "catching the gay" from being friends with gay people.  So, I had to say to James "What, are you afraid you're gonna catch the run?  Like catching the gay?"  It was hilarious.  Okay, it may not be as funny to someone that hasn't seen Ralphie Mae, or to someone just reading this later on.  But we died laughing in the car so I had to write it down.
