Roxie Boudreaux was blonde and overweight. Mentally she was also known to
be "playing with a short deck".
Her doctor after listening to her gripe, put her on a diet with the
following instructions: "Eat regularly for two days then skip a day and
repeat the procedure for two weeks and the next time I see you, You'll have
lost at least five pounds."
When Roxie came back, she'd lost nearly twenty pounds and the doctor was
amazed and asked if she had followed his instructions.
"Yep" she answered, " but I thought that I'd drop dead that third day."
"From Hunger" he asked?
"Hell no!" "from all that dammed skipping!"
