If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?


In response to last week’s question, “If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?”, my friend Richard challenged, “Whales are NOT fat. They are just short for their weight.”

My dad’s beach buddy Bob thought, “You must be referring to killer wales” while my sailing friend Kurt explained whales’ size because “blubber floats.”
My cousin Valarie and Tracey questioned, “Imagine what they'd look like if they didn't swim?!?”  To this, my friend Richard added, “Heck, they’d probably displace so much water that New York City would be underwater and New Jersey would cease to exist! (I’m still looking for a down-side to this.).”

My sailing and writing friend Rich observed, “It may have something to do with the five tons of krill cocktails they eat each day.”  My cousin Wes then noted, “See food and eat it; you have one whale of a time.”  To this, my birthday bud Jon concluded, “In a remarkable evolutionary leap, whales have perfected the ability to eat unlimited quantities of food while exercising. It would be like putting a treadmill in front of the all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. The closest mankind has come, combining unlimited eating with the ocean is the cruise ship.”

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

We have enough youth. How about a fountain of "smart"?

Live well...laugh often and heartily…. have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile!
