“The Weight”
“I pulled in to Nazareth,
was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand,
"No" was all he said”
— The Weight, The Band
When I ‘graduated’ from Basic Training and AIT, from Uncle Sam’s school for wayward boys (The Infantry School, Ft Benning GA).
I weighed 217 lbs. Not quite my lowest ‘Adult weight’, which was when I starved myself to get to 211 to qualify for Fairfax County Police Dept.
For the last 5 days my ‘morning weight’ has been 216.3.
October 2017, my weight was 297, since then I’ve lost 81 lbs. From my all time high in 2003 of 325 lbs, 109 lbs.
Not bad for an old ‘white boy’…

"Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is meself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbour Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eight!"
The President paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command."
"Begorra!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back.
Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. President, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry
equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" The President asks.
"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's tractor."
