Wait – is he on the Jenny Craig loss plan??

Ha. He was indeed. Her loss it would seem.

But did he lose 30 pounds in 30 days as a result? ;-)
Fun

He did, Jim. After thirty days, he coughed up an arm and a leg 😂

At least he got his money's worth. Laughed out loud.

Butt weight, there's more.

I have to sympathize with the cannibal. Those diets can leave you feeling very cranky and hungry.

Sympathising with cannibals, Peggy! Hope we never end up on a life raft.

A fun one and a thought provoker! (who's he been eating that he got obese?)

And some thought-provoking comments. You had me stumped, Cindy! Until I ran into his doctor who was minus a leg and appeared shaken. He'd recommended a diet of Chinese which proved quite fatal so, he went out on a limb and suggested a sumo diet which our friend took literally, as well..

"stumped" and sumo diet! Hahaha. Clever, Andrew!

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
