The Picture Diet

I remember one time when I was home visiting my folks.

My mom asked me to set the table for dinner.

I opened the refrigerator and taped to the inside of the door was a risque picture of a lovely, slender, perfectly built young woman.

“Mom, what s this?”

I asked.

“Oh, I put that up there to remind me not to overeat,” she answered.

“Is it working?” I asked.

“Yes and no,” she explained.

“I ve lost 15 pounds, but your dad has gained 20!”
