Lesson R&S 79
“Fat Flu”
Harvard researchers recently said fat spreads “from person to person like a fashion or germ.” This first-of-its-kind study discovered that married people get fat together. (Who knew?) And it found that fat people often have fat friends. (Unbelievable!)
So, I’m trying to figure out which one of my so-called friends is making me fat. It can’t be Ray. He’s been on the Atkins Diet longer than Atkins. Not Pati, no way. She’s so thin she has to run around in the shower to get wet. It must be those others—the couch potatoes—who share their Ho Ho’s with me and never say, “Let’s go run three miles.”
