[交流] That Lean and Hungry Look

Caesar was right.Thin people need watching.I have been watching them for most part of my adult life,and I don't like what I see.When these narrow fellows spring at me,I quiver to my toes.Thin people come in all personalities,most of them menacing.You've got your "together" thin person,your mechanical thin person,your condescending thin person,your tsk-tsk thin person,your efficiency expert thin person.All of them are dangerous.

        In the first place,thin people aren't fun.They don't know how to goof off,at least in the best,fat sense of the word.They've always got to be adoing.Give them a coffee break,and they'll jog around the block.Supply them with a quiet evening at home,and they'll fix the screen door and lick S&H green stamps.They say things like"there aren't enough hours in the day." Fat people never say that.Fat people think the day is too damn long already.

        Thin people make me tired.They've got speedy little metabolisms that cause them to bustle briskly.They're forever rubbing their bony hands together and eyeing new problems to "tackle." I like to surround myself with sluggish,ihert,easygoing fat people ,the kind who believe that if you clean it up today,it'll just get dirty again tomorrow.

        Some people say the business about the jolly fat person is a myth,that all of us chubbies are neurotic,sick,sad people.I disagree.Fat people may not be chortling all day long,but they're a hell of a lot nicer than the wizened and shriveled.Thin people turn surly,mean and hard at a young age because they never learn the value of hot-fudge sundae for easing tension.Thin people don't like gooey soft things because they themselves are neither gooey nor soft.They are crunchy and dull,like carrots.They go straight to the heart of the matter while fat people let things stay all blurry and hazy and vague,the way things actually are.Thin people want to face the truth.Fat people know there is not truth.One of my thin friends is always staring at complex,unsolvable problems and saying,"The key thing is..."Fat people never say that.They know there isn't any such thing as the key thing about anything.

        Thin people believe in logic.Fat people see all sides.The sides fat people see are rounded blobs,usually gray,always nebulous and truly not worth worrying about.But the thin person persists."If you consume more calories than you burn,"says one of my thin friends,"you will gain weight.It's that simple."Fat people alwaysgrin when they hear statements like that.They know better.

        Fat people realize that life is illogical and unfair...Thin people have a long list of logical things they are always spouting off to me.They hold up one finger at a time as they reel off these things,so I won't lose track.They speak slowly as if to a young child.The list is long and full of holes.It contains tidbits like "get a grip on yourself,""cigarettes kill,""cholesterol clogs,""fit as a fiddle,""ducks in a row,""organize"and "sound fiscal management."Phrases like that.

       They think these 2,000-point plans lead to happiness.Fat people know happiness is elusive at best and even if they could get the kind thin people talk about,they wouldn't want it.Wisely,fat people see that such programs are too dull,too hard,too off the mark.They are never better than a whole cheesecake.

        Fat people know all about the mystery of life.They are the ones qcquainted with the night,with luck,with fate,with playing it by ear.One thin person I know once suggested that we arrange all the parts of a jigsaw puzzle into groups according to size,complete the puzzle by at lest 50 percent.I said I wouldn't do it.One,I like to muddle through.Two,what good would it do to finish early?Three,the jigsaw puzzle isn't the important thing.The important thing is the fun off our people(one thin person included)sitting around a card table,working a jigsaw puzzle.My thin friend had no use for my list.Instead of joining us,he went outside and mulched the boxwoods.The three remaining fat people finished the puzzle and made chocolate,double-fudged brownies to celebrate.

        The main problem with thin people is they oppress.Their good intentions,bony torsos,tight ships,neat corners,cerebral machinations and pat solutions loom like dark clouds over the loose,comfortable,spread-out,soft world of the fat.Long after fat people have removed their coats and shoes and put their feet up on the coffee table ,thin people are still sitting on the edge of the sofa,looking neat as a pin,discussing rutabagas.Fat people are heavily into fits of laughter,slapping their thighs and whooping it up,while thin people are still politely waiting for the punch line.

        Thin people are downers.They like math and morality and reasoned evaluation of the limitations of human beings.They have their skinny acts together.They expound,prognose,probe and prick.

         Fat people are convivial.They will like you even if you're irregular and have acne.They will come up with a good reason why you never wrote the great American novel.They will cry in your beer with you.They will put your name in the pot.They will let you off the hook.Fat people will gab,giggle,guffaw,gallumph,gyrate and gossip.They are generous,giving and gallant.They are gluttonous and goodly and great.what you want when you're down is soft and jiggly,not muscled and stable.Fat people know this.Fat people have plenty room.Fat people will take you in.
