Or you could run your ass around the block a few times

OK then:

A 290-pound New York man is steaming mad at the White Castle fast-food chain, which he claims repeatedly broke promises to make the booths in his local eatery bigger.

Martin Kessman, 64, filed a lawsuit against the fast-food giant last week in Manhattan federal court, claiming that the uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people.

    Will their booths with the seats 4 feet away from the table violate the civil rights of people with self-control?

    I’m down to about his weight (was more, working on being less), and yeah, many booths in food places are a bit tight. Which isn’t the restraunts fault, it’s mine. No one held a gun to my head and said ‘eat this cheeseburger or else!’

  3. Rob K Says:

    It might not violate the civil rights of people with self-control, but it likely would those of short people. My biggest complaint about booths, and why I hate sitting in them, is that the table is so far away from me and I’m not that far below average height.

  4. Rob K Says:

    BTW I’m not saying that it would actually violate anyone’s civil rights.

    Rob K: The difference between “discriminates against short people” and “discriminates against fat people” is that you can’t make yourself less short by putting less food in your food-hole. Fat, OTOH …

    Its glandular.

    Gee. I know that BJ’s Wholesale Club sells White Castle, probably Sam’s Club and Costco also. So he could just waddle his butt in there and get a couple of Shopping Carts full of them for his lunch if he wants to. Hope the Judge has enough Common Sense to throw this out, and maybe have the Ambulance Chaser penalized for trying to bring this case on the Docket.

    Sweet Jesus. I have fought, won, lost, and finally won the battle of the bulge myself, so I won’t generally make fat comments. I’ll make an exception for this fellow. Businesses aren’t required to go out of their way to accommodate the morbidly obese. It isn’t their job to take a guess on the size of the gigantic bellies that may try to squeeze in to a normal sized booth. On top of that, the last place anyone pushing 300 should go is any fast food place.
    If you want to continue to eat yourself in to an earlier grave, that is your affair. The world isn’t obligated to adjust itself to you once you eat yourself in to a size bracket that supports your own weather systems.

    Can’t he just use the drive-thru?

  14. Old NFO Says:

    Meh… No responsibility, so he’s gotta blame ‘somebody’ else… sigh Hey Fatso, step AWAY from the table once in a while!!!

    “It’s a thyroid problem!”

    “Really? How many thyroids have you been eating?”

  16. junyo Says:

    So you’re saying that NY’s mandatory calorie labeling hasn’t prevented fatties? Hard to believe.

  17. McThag Says:

    He’d better sue Honda too, there’s no way he’d fit in a Fit.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
