“That would be perfectly logical if the airlines weren’t constantly shrinking the seats and the legroom.”
Okay, then have the computer program assign seats by butt width. A skinny next to a fatty.
I said “NO we won't!” She was pissed.
I sat beside a huge fat guy who was putting off so much body heat it was like sitting next to a heater.
No thanks I'll drive.
My right hand knoweth not what my left hand doeth, because they’re in different time zones.

Mr Ditter is a slightly tubby guy. I say he gives me warmth in the winter and shade in the summer. I wouldn’t change him for any skinny guy.
My passport photo alone weighs 5 lbs.
