Commenter and blogger Redacted had this to say from yesterday’s post: Somewhat off topic, but never, ever neg someone with a reference to their weight. Not even a 10. A buddy of mine got kicked out of a club for saying, “Hey, haven’t you put on a pound or two,” to one of the hired … Read more

Reader Joe T. sent me a link to this story (scroll halfway down) about female obesity correlating with lower pay in the workplace.

Your girlfriend, who is thin, asks if you think she looks fat. Among the following responses you could give which is most likely to make her smile and kiss you? Which is most likely to piss her off? Which is most likely to make her more dependent on you (AKA love you)? The Sarcastic Answer“Oh yes, you’re … Read more

I shared space (acreage) on the elevator today with a woman pushing 300 pounds. One of the VPs, a portly middle-aged man with strong body language, got on with us. She exchanged a pleasantry with him and he briefly acknowledged her with a head nod. She began telling him a story about her weekend when the elevator … Read more
