The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path to ease impact forces on your knees and lower back. Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."
The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information. The implications were obvious; men were supposed to exercise, too. A low grumbling could be heard. After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand ...
"Yes?" said the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries my clubs while we walk?"
