America's Fatties... Take Note


What does Squidbillies Krystal (above), Rusty Cuyler's birth mother, have to do with anything in this post?

Read on....
Britain's war effort is being hampered by the number of front-line troops who are too fat or unfit to be deployed to southern Afghanistan.
The article discusses BMI:
Dupree's report comes three years after the army relaxed its rules to allow recruits with a higher body mass index (BMI) to join after research found that two thirds of British teenagers were too fat to meet fitness requirements. Applicants with a BMI of 32 - two points above the World Health Organisation's definition of obesity - can now enlist.

An army board of inquiry in 2007 revealed how a soldier who died of heat stroke in Iraq was "at the higher level of obese".
Hmph. "at the higher level of obese". I'll bet he had nothing on America's army of obese porkers you so often see in places like Wal-Mart... Those 350 pound plus broads oozing out over the seats of those little electric carts intended for up to 250 pound disabled and elderly folks. Even in a 65 degree Wal-Mart, they leave a trail of sweat caused by efforts to breathe, followed by a Wal-Mart Associate with a mop and bucket and a handful of those little yellow signs that declare for all to see "Piso Mojado" (I exaggerate a bit, but you get the point)

Those sad and disgusting candidates for heart attack and exploded knees and hip joints have one consolation... The Brits will not draft them into their military anymore.

But our army of go-cart fatties - who remind is all of Krystal - better stay out of Afghanistan anyway... That little pocket of misery and poverty doesn't have any places to go get a 64 oz. diet soda three or four times a day.

PS:
I know, you didn't realise that Krystal was Rusty's mother.
