“without turning sideways”
???
I thought fat people were thicker front to back than they are side to side! So what good would turning sideways do?
I don’t like the width rule. I think a person should be allowed to be as big as they can get so long as they have the muscle and cardio capacity to haul that girth around swiftly. I’d put them on one of those motorized stairclimbers that look like mini escalators and turn it up fast for about one minute, or maybe 30 seconds would do. If you can keep up with it on high speed for a minute, you are allowed to be fat. Obviously pregnant women and nursing mothers would have to be exempted.
It’s kind of an inside joke. An old friend of mine had an aunt who couldn’t go through doors in her house without turning sideways.
