Measuring America's girth

There's nothing like being at a beach resort for taking a good measurement of the true girth of America. This is the only place where you can see it all, handing out from all possible sides.

The only ones who escape some of that bulging trend might the younger set. So after seeing all this extra padding on display for a full week, we are suddenly feeling much better about ourselves. We believed we had some nasty, extraneous fat, but now, we've suddenly promoted to the thin “elite.” That's the beauty of vacationing in Hawaii; here we are fortunate to feel extra thin... If we were on the French Riviera instead, we would be less lucky as a much thinner yardstick would be forced on us...
