[Panel 1]
[Ginny]
Did you leave that dumb-bell
on Derek's desk?

[Nils]
Oh come on, would I spend
money just to annoy Derek?

[Ginny]
Yes. But you probably didn't.

[Nils]
So where would I get a
free dumb-bell these days?

[Ginny]
Freecycle, obviously.

[Panel 2]
[Ginny]
But I think the superglue may
have been pushing your luck.

And I can't see why you spoilt
a dumb-bell just for him.

[Nils]
He showed me his new toy
yesterday after lunch.

[Ginny]
Ah. What was it?

[Nils]
A log.

[Panel 3]
[Ginny]
This conversation
gets weirder! A LOG?

[Nils]
Squared off. About seven inches by
seven by a couple of feet, with
electric measuring things at one end.

[Ginny]
What do you do with it,
throw it from hand to hand?

[Nils]
You step on with one foot and step
off again. Then you change feet.

[Ginny]
But everyone has stairs
somewhere, or a kerb...

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Stairs don't cost
ninety-eight quid.

[Ginny]
I understand...

[Nils]
He drives to the gym, you know.

[Ginny]
That's awful! It's only
five minutes' walk away.

[Nils]
That would be why they
sold him the log.

[Ginny]
And why he couldn't shift
the dumb-bell. Right.
