Beauty or Brains?
My trip to the common state college campus yesterday prompted me to start a study! As I sat in the truck waiting for my sis to appear from the depths of the dirty dorms, I had the privilage of a perfect view of the most travelled sidewalk between undergrad housing and the classrooms. At first I wasnt too focused on the people...I was just sorta taking things in. I started to think how much it must suck to have to walk that distance in the rain..or snow...or cold. It was pretty cold yesterday and most seemed to be bundled up well...and hoofin it at a good speed. Then my dad made a comment....most of the college population appeared to be overweight. I hadnt noticed...because I am not a person that even considers peoples sizes when I look at them. But it was true! Granted these were all freshman...and I was guilty of packin on the freshman '20' myself. As I watched I realized that most of these students appeared to be lugging big bags...and learning materials. Good for them! But then appeared a girl...couldnt have weighed 90lbs soakin wet... and what was she carrying? Nothing. Well not nothing...the necessities...handbag about the size of her ass, lit cigarette, and a cell phone. As I pointed this out to my father he almost peed himself. This prompted me to observe...in all of my spare time...the correlation between learning materials and body size. Sure enough those that were larger than the average weight...appeared to be much more interested in their education(ie:laptops, textbooks, pens and pencils) than those that were interested in whether their lips were properly glossed. Even more importantly...it was cold yesterday...and those that had the body fat to bare the cold...wore more clothing..than those that felt the need to show themselves. In conclusion: 1.)I am glad I dont need to feel the need to exhibit my body this time of the year...pneumonia is a bitch. 2.) I would rather have some fat on my bones...and a brain in my head. 3.) If my entire world can ever fit in a cell phone, 3 inch handbag, and a cancer stick...shoot me. My question for the rest of you? Is there anyone out there that can do this study at another school? You will find it amusing I promise. You will be amazed what is out there! Proper studies have to be done over and over again to prove accuracy. Please let me know. I will add your findings to my blog.

Oh my god, like totally! Did you know that skinny bitch was actually burning off any last remaining fat she had by being out in the cold without proper coverage? Oh my god, yes! Turns out the human body will burn fat to keep the core temp just right. Bundle up, like the book worms, and there is no need to burn fat. Dress sleezy like the chain smoking ho, and you'll never have an ounce of fat.
There is my scientific contribution to your study.... now where are those low-riding hip-hugging capris and tummy showing tank top? I feel a walk in the cold coming on!
