If a law like this ever got passed, I would definitely move to another country. I guess the ACLU has its purpose after all. | |

She was on TV a few times in San Diego. One time, an obese man came up to her and asked for money so he can eat.
To which she replied, "You don't need to eat. Look at what you've got." Makes us wonder, doesn't it?

That bathroom scene was "repeated" on Law & Order a week ago tonight. Gazooks!!! The guy on the toilet tapped the shoe of one of the detectives who was sitting on the toilet in the next stall, on Law & Order. It was a trap played by the detective. He handed the bad guy his card, and the words were "uh oh!"

Isn't the money the reason the restaurant was opened in the first place?
Anyway, who decides what the definition of fat, overwieght; and obese? The manager of the restaurant? Would people have to weigh in at the door; or bring a permission slip from their doctor?
Whomever even came up with this idea has way too much time on their hands! I wonder just how much they weigh? | |
