Now you're really stretching it...

You'd think we were stringing this subject along weigh, but I'm too tense to bring up such a heavy matter.

You'd think we were stringing this subject along weigh, but I'm too tense to bring up such a heavy matter.

Here is a heavy (but very interesting) article ...

'I can't give up'

Excerpt:

GRANBURY - The nurse wasn't the first person to ask his weight. The question crossed the mind of perhaps every patient in the medical clinic's waiting room the moment he filled the doorway, a huge man dressed for the sweltering heat in a catalog-ordered cotton T-shirt, size XXXXXXXXL, and a pair of XXXXXXXXXL shorts.

Pushed along in a wheelchair by his 79-year-old stepfather, Mike Laird felt the sidelong glances.

On public display, he ignored the outright stares.

How heavy is he?

Laird told the nurse that he weighs "probably 650."

That's just a guess.

"I may be 700 pounds."

Morbidly obese, Laird can't walk unassisted.
