I am not a thin man, not any more, and I haven't been for many years. Yet there are many men far fatter than I am. One of these today was on the ferry going home, I noticed him as I was getting on the boat. He was sitting down (not surprising, as he was probably around 300 pounds), and was wearing a black shirt that on the front just said "WHY?".
I thought to myself: "Probably too many donuts."
A-thank you!

This reminds me of of an event that took place not long ago...
ReplyDelete::driving past School for the Deaf sign on NY thruway::
Tom: "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!?????????"
::silent pause::
Me: "Hon!" ::hits Tom's leg::
Tom: ::laughter only gets worse::
I have such a love/hate relationship with your humor sometimes.
I'm compelled to defend those you joke about, but at the same time it cracks me up... I can't drive past that sign without smiling.
What does that make me? I'm not entirely sure, but it does make you funny.
People fatter than me are my favorite people in the entire world. They make me feel so much better about my terrible eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. Sure, I'm carrying more weight than I reasonably should, but at least I can swing my arms when I walk. Last week by the ferry I saw some guy who was as round as that obnoxious brat from "Willy Wonka" after she ate those berries, and it made my entire day. Does this make me a terrible person? Probably. But there it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying I've never made fun of a fat person before but the fact that there are fatter people than you in the world should not make your own excess weight okay.
ReplyDeleteUsually when I see someone that big, I usually get down, because I think that one day, he likely looked like me. It makes me want to eat better.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE eating better!
ReplyDeleteOur flub should be afraid... very afraid.
I'm going to find out tomorrow how this week went for me. We weigh in in the office on Friday mornings. My flub will flee in fear! FFFFfff!
