And isn't that the bottom line! And the year after that, and the year after

Easy way out? How ridiculous!

When reading about the dentist analogy, I remembered

my uncle telling me when he was a boy in a small town.

When he went to the dentist for a cavity, the dentist

would reach into his mouth with pliers and yank the

tooth. So I guess that we're all taking the easy way

out by having novacaine and drills, etc.

I still like the one I learned in elementary school:

I may be fat, but you're ugly...and I can [will] lose weight!

Just kidding. I'm glad for this thread because I'm not sure what

I'm going to say if someone says this to me. I'll probably say

something sarcastic like " Oh, like having a surgeon rearrange

my digestive system so I have to strictly monitor my health for the

rest of my life is easy... " but that doesn't have much bite.

You can also ask " How did you get to work today? " Did they take the

easy way by driving? Ask them why they didn't walk to work? They

will probably respond that it would take to long, they would be late,

etc. Their goal was to get to work. Our goal was to become healthy,

so we chose the most effective, efficient way to get there. Then

tell them to mind their own business, and make sure you sashay your

skinny butt right out the door.

Jean, you GO girl!!! Actually, if you think about it, having an

infected tooth pulled is the easy way out. You should just leave it

in there to fester and make you sick...After all, dental decay is

your own fault. If you had more willpower you'd brush more often.....

It's generally uncomfortable, but far from Hell, Carole. And, plan

on six weeks. If you feel human after just a month, chalk it up to

good fortune. --Steve

I think that's giving them the easy way out, since a broken bone will

often heal by itself, (even if it's crooked forever after), but

morbid obesity is a terminal condition without surgery.

I think a better question would be, " Do you know anyone who had

surgery for cancer? Well, they took the easy way out -- they should

have just changed their diet and exercised a lot. "

Then, when the booger-eating-moron replies, " But they would have DIED

without the surgery, " you simply reply, " SO WILL I, YOU $HIT-FOR-

BRAINS A$$HOLE! "
