#1 My mom used to tell me, as an incentive to lose weight as a pre-teen, that if I needed emergency heart surgery or something like that, if I were thin the doctors could just cut right in and fix me up. But if I were fat, they’d have to cut through all these layers of fat and move them aside before they could get to the heart of the matter (pun intended), thereby causing potentially life-threatening delays. So this had me thinking… if I were obese and the doctor has to cut through fat in the surgery anyway, does he or would he just cut off the fat rolls and discard them? Cuz then, free lipo! Kill two birds with one stone! Or would he charge to cut the fat out? I suppose if it were that easy, all these heart patients who undergo surgery wouldn’t have to go thru the “You must lose weight to keep your heart well, we barely saved you this time. You need to change your lifestyle” doctor-patient lectures.
#2 Why would someone willingly drive a convertible really fast with the top down through wooded areas like the car commercials show? Wouldn’t you get bugs splattered on your face the way they splatter on your car? And what if you have a passenger and you’re trying to talk to him/her and you have to yell really loud to compensate for the wind noise, and cuz your mouth is open, you SWALLOW a bug?
As for #2:
Memememememe!!!!! 🙂 Actually with the top down and driving really fast everything hits the windshield. I got caught in a light rain with the top down and if you go fast enough you don’t get wet since all the water hits the windshield! Same goes for bugs, bird doo doo, etc. IF you stop though — then you are in trouble which gives more incentive to drive really fast!
And actually a well made convertible is not too turbulant inside. At city speeds you can talk at a very comfortable level in my new one. (although the mustang was very noisy with the top down.) Even at freeway speeds if you roll up the windows you can totally have a conversation top down.
Although if I have a passenger that enjoys music as much as I do then we just turn up the radio real loud and enjoy the drive and talk when we get to wherever we are going! Actually did just that yesterday it’s a lot of fun!
I have yet to swallow any bugs BTW :).
When you said “mememememe” I thought you were gonna share a bug-swallowing story.
I’m sorely disappointed.
