Word. Wonder if that will work with a promotion board...John,
You're not fat. You just maintain self-deployable strategic reserves in case of a national food emergency. Kept well stocked as you do with your arsenal. People should not be intimidated just because you make the conscience effort to be properly prepared so you won't be a burden on your community. Some have a Victory Garden - others have a Victory Belly.
Reminds me of what actress Rachael Leigh Cook once said about herself: "I'm not small. I'm space-efficient."
I worked with a very large individual who mystified me with his size. He was very jovial about it, and made jokes both about it and himself with ease.
Finally being the uncouth youth i inquired just how he gained his rather large girth.
"When i was a boy World War II was just wrapping up. My mother told me that any food i left behind was food for the Germans..."
Says I "How did that gain you the weight?"
Says He "I tried to starve two German regiments...."
I am one of those folks who burns the calories at a high temperature, and doesn't store much for the future. I fear that I will be among the first to go in a famine.
