I like a man with something to grab hold of.

I feel the same about women. I wish whoever is responsible for it, would get off this obesity kick and focus on crime.
My mom was always heavy. Her sister seldom weighed over 85 pounds. Guess what? They both lived to just over 85.

Yep and Pete's grandmother chain smoked until she died at 97 yrs old. And she quaffed large amounts of Whisky. Just goes to show eh? My sister who never once drank or smoked died of cancer.

After the first time, I bought a large container of bear repellant. It's purpose is to repel bears encountered by hikers. It shoots a really evil spray out a good distance. I carry it in a holster on my belt under my shirt or jacket. Once recently, I was approached by two men. One was a dirty, wino looking guy walking with another guy using a cane too. Wino said to cane man something about how he should kick my fat butt. I stopped, put my hand under my shirt on my bear spray. They passed without saying another word. I stood there watching them. They kept looking back but said no more.
The moral of my story is to get some bear spray.

I'm overweight, perhaps I should buy some bear spray.
