I can honestly say that I was laughing out loud reading your story and I sympathize. Sometimes I am in the airport and I see a really fat person stuffing his face and I just want to go over and slap him/her. Its gross. True story: Once I was scuba diving and there was this guy who (no exaggeration) must have been 425 lbs. They didnt have a weight belt that fit around his massive girth, so they (no joke) took some extra anchor line and used that. I was shocked becuase A) its very very unsafe, in an emergency you can't simply "dump" your weight belt and B) I cant imagine that any dive company would allow such a thing to take place due to how unsafe it is and C) it was actually funny as hell to see this fat ******* wrap an anchor line with probably 100lbs of weight around his body in order to sink himself.
