What? Why?

Today, I decided to attack the mounds of clean laundry that have overtaken the exercise room. I picked up the largest basket with the most overflow to take into my room for folding. It was very heavy, but I didn't think much of it. After all, there was a lot of laundry in there and I am out of shape. When I got to the bottom of the basket, what did I find? Two 5-lb weights!
