Shaker Jabes emailed the link to an article at MSN entitled: "6 Lamest Excuses for Not Losing Weight."

Actually being lame is not, for the record, one of the six lamest excuses. I guess being fat as a result of physical disability is not a lame excuse. Or maybe it is, but it just didn't make the top 6.

Suffice it to say, able-bodiedness is not the only privilege on display throughout the duration of the piece, which I frankly don't recommended reading, anyway.
