Monday, January 7, 2008

Mick Cornett, the mayor of Oklahoma City, has challenged every citizen to lose a collective 1 million pounds in an effort to help the state capital shed the distinction of being one of America's fattest cities. What do you think?

Sam Kennedy,
Medical Transcriber
"If they're really serious about attaining this goal, the first thing they need to do is stop eating each other."

Jess MacNamara,
Field Manager
"Collective weight loss will take forever. Just take it all off Mama Dunster. She's got at least a million and a half to give."

Larry Queenan,
Camp Counselor
"What, and go back to being famous for that smell?"
