I plan to be serious when I grow up

One thing that I have noticed is that people at the gym do tend to have opinions about my reading habits. Here is a relatively recent example.

I'm sitting waiting patiently for my first Saturday dance class - reading Cloudsplitter, in case you're curious - when the hip-hop teacher approaches me, plops his hands on the table, and delivers the following mini-speech:

"Every time I see you, you're always reading. . ." long pause as we both contemplate where this is going. "Which is great, but you can also relax."

This story is probably funnier if you know both of us.

Bonus points if you get the titular reference.
