I really don't see what is so funny about obesity. Fact is, airplane seats back in the commoners' section weren't designed to fit the morbidly obese like Phil Taylor- he should have been told to buy two seats. I have a feeling that the two seats that are required to fit his oversized frame would be far more expensive than the one first class seat. I think what the young man next to him should have texted was, 'A morbidly obese young man, who should have been required to buy two seats but needs to save that money to 'make it rain' at the strip club later today, is seated next to me. FML.'
And to head off an argument about Phil Taylor's weight- it doesn't matter how much of that is muscle, to weigh over 350 lbs you have to be carrying more than 20% of your weight in body fat. The man could run a 5 second 40, he would still be morbidly obese. There is a reason so many of these former linemen are dropping dead in their 40s an 50s, these weights are not healthy for their hearts long-term. I shudder to think what is going to happen to this last two decades of offensive and defensive linemen as they age. Going to be way too many Reggie Whites.
