We are fat.  We are fat and getting fatter by the day.  We all know this. Why are we fat?  A person with one ounce of common sense might say it's because we eat too much. Unfortunately; that small, lone, voice of common sense is drowned out by the chorus of fat apologists who come up with any excuse other than that one. If I have to hear it's glandular one more time, I'M going on a Ben & Jerry's binge!

Of course it's glandular!

I'm in line today at the convenience store minding my own business when I hear this labored, wet, rattling sound. At first, I think the beer near the exit has spontaneously sprouted holes. I immediately discount this theory as there is no stampede to drink any beer that might be escaping. I look around and see the source of the noise. There is a huge lady behind me in line. The sound is her labored breathing. Now I'm nervous because my CPR certification is expired, like I'm confident the lady behind me is going to at any second. This was not just mouth breathing. I have a cousin who was the most obnoxious mouth breather ever. He could NEVER sneak up on anyone. You could hear that asshole coming a mile away. This sounded like someone who had just finished sprinting and had a nasty cold. I'm eying the length of the line trying to figure out if I can make it through before the fat lady goes down. I have a bit of a Lemonhead addiction and I'm on a tight schedule. I've got to stay where I am and hope this lady can continue to move the sludge she calls blood through her clogged arteries a bit longer.

Don't mind me, I'm just an innocuous pizza stuffed with extra cheese.  Nothing to see here!

I nonchalantly glance at the items she has clutched in her chubby fingers. Chips?  Of course, salt and vinegar.  Candy bar?  You got it!  It's a double size Butterfinger.  Drink?  Hell yes!  Can't eat all that without washing it down with a HUGE Mountain Dew!







I pay for my Lemonheads and leave. I pass the woman as she waddles to her car THAT IS PARKED IN THE HANDICAPPED LANE!  Really?!

That's our problem.  We eat too much and don't move enough.
