    The folks at Webster's Dictionary wanted to use my picture as an illustration for the word, "Obese".  I told them they could just use the one they have for "Idiot".

    If I could use the waist measurement for my jeans (about 33") I'd be in great shape for my height (76"), unfortunately, the correct area is more around the belly so I guess I have a little work to do (like growing a few inches taller).

    As I am 6' 1" tall and a waste waist size of 36 it seems I'm good to go.

    My jeans have a waste size of infinity.  I need to lose a few galaxies.
