Last night, probably for the first time, I witnessed a group of really fat (borderline obese) people playing tennis. It went pretty much the way I expected. Nobody bothered a return attempt on balls that were more than about two paces away from wherever they were standing. I don't quite understand why they chose to play tennis, of all sports - it is one of the more merciless sports when it comes to fitness, along with soccer. In any case, I would normally be characteristically critical of them and say things like, "Stop stuffing your face, then we'll talk tennis," but the obese guy who was playing made a comment along the way that inflated my respect for him logarithmically:
Girl 1: "Eww, Brian [not me] did you spit over here?"
Brian: "Only once."
Girl 2: "What, is there spit all over the court?"
Girl 1: "No, just one big one."
Brian: "That's what she said."
Brian, wherever you are, I applaud you. All of you.
