On being fat

As I said before, I am not overweight, I am undertall.

Of course, that may be like saying I'd have more money in the bank if I earned more, or that if I only had more room this place wouldn't be so cluttered. Ha ha ha!

DITTO!

Not me. My wife told me about a month ago...

"You're so fucking perfect."


I'd be skinny.

Um, I'd like to hear that in context.

These comments about weight got me to remembering the show "Cheers". 'Member that one? One character was Norm Peterson. Classic big/fat guy beer drinker, trademark one-liners w/Woody the bartender.

Woody (upon Norm entering the bar): Hey Mr. Peterson, whatcha up to?
Norm: My ideal weight if I was eleven feet tall. Pour me beer.
____________
Woody: Hi there, Mr. Peterson. What's shaking?
Norm: All four cheeks and a couple of chins, Woody. Gimme a beer.
____________
(Norm is griping about his appearance)
Woody: I don't think you look so bad, Mr. Peterson.
Norm: What, are you blind? I've got more chins than a Chinese phone book.
