I am taking an Exercise Physiology course this semester. It's pretty interesting so far, though I've only had one class. Last night, we were discussing how some people end up being very sedentary, and their reasons for it. The instructor described his mother, who recently broke her arm. She was being inactive because movement caused pain in her arm. The instructor didn't think that was a very good reason for inactivity. So one of the students brought up his mother.

Student: Well, how would you like to trade mothers? My mom is 5'4" and 310 lbs, and she's 85 too!

Instructor: (animatedly in an amazed tone.) And god bless her. She's WAY outside of the bell curve. She should be dead.

Does anyone else find it unnerving that the instructor just told a student that his mother should be dead???
