Suckers

Fat people are suckers. Every year end, you see the gyms gearing up for the stampede of fatties. Every year, the fatties come like cattle to the trough. They start out exuberant, getting their body fat measured, setting up exercise programs. Four weeks into the new year, you'll see them bumping and fumbling their way around the gym, but by week eight, they start to dwindle. Parking spaces open up. There's room in the kid's club again. The fatties drop from the gym like big fat ticks.

Then, poof, they are gone. What a waste of money for them. What an inconvenience for the rest of us.
