Fried azaleas, scranlbled azaleas, creamed azaleas...
It seems that everyone is on a
diet lately. Even criminals are
watching their weight. And you
can't blame them either. Who
wants to be seen on the television
show "Cops" carrying an extra 20
pounds?
The producers always show
these guys being taken away in
handcuffs clad only in their under-
shorts, which is really gross to all
their relatives and friends watch-
mg it on televisions they've just
hijacked.
"Hey, isn't that Leroy, lying
face down on the ground.'?"
"Man, look at the size of that
butt. I told him television adds an
extra 10 pounds on you."
"Let's hope they don't set the
bail by the pound."
"Forget it. We can't be seen
with someone who disrespects his
body like that anymore."
Some criminals are so aware of
this problem they no longer leave
the house, preferring to fax their

robberies into banks.
There's no doubt that tensions
can run high when people are
forced to diet, especially among
couples. This kind of tension can
lead to disastrous consequences.
The insect community is especial-
ly vulnerable. Take the average
silkworm.
"For God's sake Malcolm, keep
eating those boxwood plants and
you are going to be as big as a rat.
I've told you to stay away from
them. You know you are on a total
azalea diet. They are low in car-
bohydrates. And another thing,
take out the garbage before I call
your mother."
"Yea, well 'azalea this' Doris.
I'm sick of your stupid diet.
Every day it's scrambled azalea
for breakfast, fried azalea for
lunch and creamed azalea for din-
ner. I tell you, I can't take it any-
more. I've had it. It's just like our
marriage Doris, it's over."
With that Malcolm lept on the
back of a passing motorcycle and
headed for California in the hopes
of meeting up with Richard
Simmons or Pamela Anderson.
As he rode out of sight, his last
words to Doris were, 'Tm keep-
ing it real. I'm keeping it real."
Let's face it, some of us have
grown so large that our rear ends
have begun emitting a beeping
sound whenever we take a step
backward to warn others to get out
of the way. This is especially haz-
ardous around loading docks and
construction sites.
"Hey Harry, where's the load of
wood that was dropped off earli-
erT"
"I don't know. I thought I saw a
semi truck pull up. It was hard to
tell, though, because all of a sud-
den the light was completely
blocked out. Everything got dark.
But I know I heard the beeping
from it backing up."
Attitudes about dieting have
certainly changed over the years
and generations. Did you ever
notice that your parents were
never concerned with weight loss?
They always looked the same year
after year.
They never gained weight and
they never lost weight. The
lifestyle to a healthy lean body
was a closely guarded secret
among them. Basically, they pret-
ty much never took off their
clothes.
You almost never saw a parent's
actual skin unless by accident,
like walking into a private view-
ing at a funeral. If you look
through picture albums of those
.times, you'll notice everyone is
wearing a long black coat.
Today we are faced with so
many diets to choose from it's
become a national crises. Not the
diets, but the fact that we've run
out of paper to print more diets.
Most of them are written by doc-
tors who haven't been shot by
their mistresses. At least not yet.
But the important thing is to
take the plunge anyway. Those
few warm days when we shed our
coats were frightening enough.
And I wouldn't worry about
Doris.
She's taken up with a daddy
long legs spider, who never seems
to have a weight problem.
