"Thin People Don’T" joke
I read every diet I can get my hands on. I even follow their suggestions. But eventually, inevitably, I always get fat again. Now, at last, I’ve found The Answer. After living for almost 14 years with a man who never gains an ounce no matter what I serve him, I’ve found out what it is that keeps him thin: He thinks differently. The real difference between fat and thin people is that thin people:
Avoid eating popcorn in the movies because it gets their hands greasy;
Split a large combination pizza with three friends;
Think Oreo cookies are for kids;
Nibble cashews one at a time;
Think that doughnuts are indigestible;
Read books they have to hold with both hands;
Become so absorbed in a weekend project they forget to have lunch;
Fill the candy dish on their desks with paper clips;
Counteract the midafternoon slump with a nap instead of a cinnamon Danish;
Exchange the deep-fryer they received for Christmas for a clock-radio;
Lose their appetites when they’re depressed;
Think chocolate Easter bunnies are for kids;
Save leftovers that are too skimpy to use for another meal in order to make interesting soups;
Throw out stale potato chips;
Will eat only Swiss or Dutch chocolate, which cannot be found except in a special store;
Think it’s too much trouble to stop at a special store just to buy chocolate;
Don’t celebrate with a hot-fudge sundae every time they lose a pound;
Warm up after skiing with black coffee instead of hot chocolate and whipped cream;
Try all the salads at the buffet, leaving room for only one dessert;
Find iced tea more refreshing than an ice-cream soda;
get into such interesting conversations at cocktail parties that they never quite work their way over to the hors-d’oeuvre table;
Have no compulsion to keep the candy dish symmetrical by reducing the jelly beans to an equal number of each color;
Think that topping brownies with ice cream makes too rich a dessert;
Bring four cookies into the TV room instead of a box;
Think banana splits are for kids.
