"jelly bellies"

"Curt" wrote in message oups.com... Police Chief Paul Goward kissed his $92,000-a-year job bye-bye over name calling. (Take note MFW and, yeah, just about every author of fitness articles/bodybuilding magazines.) The chief apparently sent out a memo titled "Are you a jelly belly," which didn't sit too kindly with some members of his department - one stated that the memo was "the icing on the cake." heh Can you taste the irony? "In the end, the department lost 190 pounds - all of them belonging to Goward. He was forced out as chief because some of his officers took offense at the memo. The Oct. 11 memo bruised feelings on the 80-member force, drew at least one anonymous letter of complaint from officers about the chief's management style and made his department the butt of jokes about fat cops and doughnuts." From: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,226808,00.html More from the article (and what I'd call evidence that someone's being oversensitive): Instead, he provided a list of 10 reasons police officers should be in shape. He said overweight police poorly represent the profession, poop out when chasing suspects and might have to resort to "a higher level of force" if a criminal got the upper hand in a fight. He said out-of-shape cops are a liability to the city and their families. "Take a good look at yourself," he wrote. "If you are unfit, do yourself and everyone else a favor. See a professional about a proper diet and a fitness training program, quit smoking, limit alcohol intake and start thinking self-pride, confidence and respectability. And stop making excuses for delaying what you know you should have been doing years ago. We didn't hire you unfit and we don't want you working unfit. Don't mean to offend, this is just straight talk. I owe it to you." /copy and paste How could anyone argue with that? What? Oh, yeah, I should know - people can argue against the sun being hot, against water being wet, and, yes, that up is really down, etc. Never mind. And, Freides, is this off topic? -- Curt The White American male is a sad caricature of males a mere 50 years ago. Most have become totally degenerate. Hauling fat asses on a quad or atv is called "sport". Watching NFL football while gobbling massive amounts of junk foods is a lifestyle. Moon-faced men riding guads to hunting grounds. Motorcycles abused as masses of suet straddle their frames. Worst of all, these pus-guts have become politically correct puppets of their bubble-butted wives.
