OH, LIGHTEN UP

Gym sign saying ‘Tired of being fat and ugly? Just be ugly’ under fire

Where is Roy Moore when we really need him?

And I'll be sober in the morning.


The Alabama Poop Train makes a stop in Ugly, Alabama.

I love the quote attributed to W.C.Fields when some woman accosted him in a restaurant:
"You, sir are drunk."
"Yes, ma'am, I am. but you are ugly. Tomorrow I shall be sober, but you will still be ugly."

Fields was just great. The original use was in his 1934 film, ‘It’s a Gift’, (towards the end, in the orange grove).

I like the sign. I would suggest one change; give it the headline “Guys!”. We are less sensitive. In fact, we are very insensitive. I know this, because I get regularly informed that this is so.
