    leave the poor woman alone, she's on the slimfast plan now! (oops Jenny Craig I mean)

    Top Ten slogans for Jenny Craig now that they've hired Monica Lewinsky

    10. Overweight? Get up off your knees and come see us.
    9. Stop looking like fat white trash! Start looking like thin white trash!
    8. Who cares about morality when you look good?
    7. Our meals aren't hard to swallow.
    6. Our choice of spokesperson is as tasteless as our food.
    5. You'll look so good, all the married men you know will want to commit adultery.
    4. We solemnly swear you'll lose weight...but it depends on your definition of "lose."
    3. Monica says, "Mmm mmm," but that's usually all she can say.
    2. Desiree Brown wanted too much money, so we had to hire Monica.
    1. We got Monica to lose weight, and you all know that she'll eat ANYTHING.


    here's another quote...

    "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus to Franklin in Babylon 5:"A Late Delivery from Avalon"
