Relative Improvement

Forum Health Inspector
A FRIEND, beginning his military service in Israel, took a fitness exam that required as many push-ups in succession as possible. He collapsed after one. A robust specimen next to him did a hundred and asked scornfully if my friend was embarrassed. "Why should I be?" he answered. "When they test us again in three weeks, I'll do two push-ups and will have improved one hundred percent. What will you do?"
