http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/world/asia/13fat.html?no_interstitialCheck it out! Aren't you glad we live in a country that doesn't limit your family or waist size?(Athough between the redneck overalls and Burt on the rug maybe they should...I always said the gene pool is missing a good lifeguard!)
 
Wow! That's a little bizarre.
 
All I can say is :eek:
 
I would be a goner if I lived there...
 
You can tell that hillbilly on KG's birthday thread doesn't live there!!! His waist size has got to be about an 80 inch waist!!!:yuck:
 
Nah, I'd put the waist on that hillbilly at about 40 or 42...

But needless to say, DH and I would be thrown into the brig- we'd fail that measuring test for sure!
 
What about sumo wrestlers?
