The Elvis Painting Will See You Now

In the locker room at Dank Dungeon of Fitness, there are several inspirational posters hanging on the walls. One picture features a man running on a treadmill.

Today I noticed a small message at the bottom this picture. Here's what it said:
Health Club Panel Network and this club make no representations concerning the advertisement contained in this frame or assorted holder. The product and information in this advertisement/holder are not intended to replace a professional medical advice or treatment, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

That's good, because lately I've gotten in the bad habit of letting photographs replace professional medical advice. Why, just last week I let a movie poster tell me I had a throat infection. It told me I needed to see a specialist, and sent me to a photograph of a man wearing a barrel. The receptionist told me I couldn't get an appointment until May, but there was a painting of dogs playing poker that has an opening next Tuesday.
