Haha. True! Airlines and businesses should charge for
anything they want. However, let's not allow that same
attitude to sweep us down the road of fat-taxes and
snack-taxes. It isn't an epidemic, it's a choice.
Plus, there are some advantages:
1. Wearing t-shirts in the winter
2. Added buoyancy is a real plus for pool volleyball
3. Longer survival time for those hiking mishaps
4. Hawaiian shirts actually look good on you
5. Dieting is easy: a Micky D's 2 cheeseburger meal
and a Diet Coke
6. Cleaning your plate makes you a good samaratin at
after every meal: Think of all those people starving
in China.
