Although I was only a few pounds overweight, my wife kept nagging me to go on a diet.

Pleased with myself, I said, “How many fat men do you know who can do that?”

“One,” she retorted.

    An old man walked up and noticed Johnny devouring the candy.

    “Son,” the man said, “eating too much candy isn’t good for you”.

    “No,” said Johnny. “He minded his own business.”

    Thanks to their healthy lifestyle, a married couple lives well over 100.

    One day, they’re both tragically killed and go to Heaven. On the first day, they ask God where the gym is.

    “Gym?” God replies. “We don’t have a gym here. You’ll never get fat even if you never exercise”.

    That evening, they asked God where they could find a healthy restaurant for dinner.

    God says, “We don’t have healthy restaurants. Here, you can eat as much as you want and never get fat!”

    Suddenly, the husband snaps and yells at his wife, “You see? If you hadn’t forced me to lose all that weight, I could’ve been here 40 years earlier!”
