consider the extremely fat man an unsafe risk after thirty years of age
is a well-known fact.

"I am interrupted every day by salesmen for everything on earth except
one. But the life insurance agents leave me alone!" laughed a very fat
young lawyer friend of ours the other morning--and he went on ordering
ham and eggs, waffles, potatoes and coffee!

That he is eating years off his life doesn't trouble the fat man,
however. He has such a good time doing it!

"I Should Worry," Says the Fat Man

It was no accident that "Ish ka bibble" was invented by the Hebrew.
For this race has proportionately more fat people in it than any other

guest has said good night.

So it is no wonder that fat people spend almost every evening at a
party. They get so many more invitations than the rest of us!
