I was just coming out of the changing rooms into the Gym tonight when I saw a gym instructor kneeling next to a lady lying on an exercise mat in the recovery position. Thinking that it was some personal training under way I joked "I hope she isn't dead is she?"

The instructor looked back at me, blankly.

Oops.

As I made my way out, the ambulance turned up.

How might I make some gesture of repentance? At this moment I have no idea whether she is alive or dead.

Eek!
