Sound of body, sound of mind, as they say

What would you do if you walked into a hotel gym and it was empty except for Benjamin Netanyahu and "nine bodyguards"?

If you're comedian John Mulaney you'll snap a picture of the Prime Minister of Israel doing bicep curls and post it to Instagram.

Mulaney accompanied his post with the words to the poem In Paris With You.

Mulaney, an Irish Catholic, is famous for his stand-up comedy about his wife, Anna: "“My wife is Jewish. She’s a New York Jew. I did it! Now, I was raised Catholic. I don’t know if you can tell that from the everything about me. My wife is Jewish, I grew up Catholic, so we got married by a friend. Being married by a friend is a beautiful ceremony that alienates both families’ religions, while confusing the elderly people at the wedding.”
