#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?
