So powerful it's illegal in Norwegian prisons

When I return from Bjørgvin and get to my unit, why don't I get my lifting belt from reception – the one Tor Iversen approved before I left for Bjørgvin? Show the decision in full.

Tell me how this is anything other than a funny advertisement for the manufacturer: So powerful it's illegal in Norwegian prisons, or something like that. The metal buckle they're referring to isn't even heavy. It's made from a light but strong blend of materials. Is what's written there even correct?

Is it really about security, or is it another dig from the unit where I smashed the window, just to piss me off? Because that's what it looks like, Benedicte. It's just bullshit. That you've got the balls to even bother being that petty.

I bought it with my own money to support me during back and leg exercises, because I have an old injury. Without it, I can't do those exercises. That's why I invested in the best belt on the market, and now you're going to tell me it's a security threat? How stupid can you get?

If I'm going to hit someone in the gym – if I suddenly, out of nowhere, at the end of my sentence, should suddenly turn violent – I'm not going to choose the belt. If I'm in the gym, I'd choose the bar that's shaped like an iron bar, which is an iron bar, which is used for pushdowns on the cable crossover. Are you going to take that away now? Or the lat pulldown bar, is that going too? Or the handle for seated rows, is that going too, Benedicte?

Or one of the frying pans on the unit is also far more effective as a blunt weapon. Are you going to ban all the frying pans now? Or oil, which can be heated to a much higher temperature than water and thrown over someone – are you going to ban all oil and all cooking pots too?

What the hell do you think you're doing, Benedicte? Give me back my lifting belt.
