burl Ives huh. I guess they must think I use grecian formula because I always get “Eat Santa, eat” when I order something small. Wiseguys. I got your “jolly” right here on the back of my hand. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > While we’re on the subject, I just love those folks who smirk when you order a Diet Coke with your cheeseburger. Hey, asshole, ever hear of diabetes? Pray that you never have firsthand experience with it. I had a similar experience. I went to BK yesterday because I had a craving for a squarefish sandwich and BK was the nearest place that serves it. I ordered the large meal and a diet coke. I even told the guy at the window a second time “diet coke”. They obviously thought I couldn’t possibly want the diet drink with my extremely fattening meal so they gave me regular coke. Blecch! I don’t drink regular coke because I can’t stand it’s overly sweet taste, I actually prefer the diet … until they decide to put Splenda in it. ---

Perhaps the sandwich artist was a shy person who was taking the old advice about speaking public and they were imagining you naked. ---

And on the general topic, yeah, sometimes we fatties just can’t win. Be seen eating a donut, well, no wonder we’re fat. Be seen eating a salad, who are we kidding? I guess we’re supposed to stay home and eat in the basement where no one can see us. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > Oh, my…oh, my… > > I find it hard to keep my mind on ol’ Burl when I have pics of a cute cub on my screen. Yeah, what **jayjay** said 😃 BTW, salads are good. It’s cottage cheese that’s very high in calories. Must be, because only fat people (like myself) eat it 😃 ---

**chaoticdonkey** definitely not Burl Ives. BTW, the glasses look good on ya. **jayjay** you’re right. He is a cute little cubby thang. I’m gettin’ a little afraid of this thread, what with **Kythereia** and **Guinastasia** loading up trebuchets with rabbit food and all. Flying carrots hurt! However, I made some f-_aaaaaa_-bu-lous garlic sourdough croutons last night that I could contribute should y’all run low on ammo. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fat-people-who-order-salads/293786.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fat-people-who-order-salads/293786.md?page=3)
