Junk in the Trunk means a Bump at the Pump

A little belt-tightening could really help Americans save on gas.

Americans are spending more money on fuel these days in part because adult men and women on average are at least 24 pounds heavier than their counterparts were in 1960, a study has found.

Collectively, today's automobiles are burning more gasoline to haul all that extra weight around -- about 1 billion gallons more annually, in fact, than they would if drivers weighed the same as they did in 1960. At recent gas prices of $2.20 a gallon, that adds up to $2.2 billion more spent at the pump each year because of America's weight problem.

I blame Sir Mix-a-Lot.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

Somehow I don't think my svelt figure quite offsets the 6-ton SUV I drive around in.

NA is quoting Sir Mix-A-Lot.

The world is getting weird.

Yes. I have NEVER hear that song before you played it at the wedding. I was making fun of Neph for knowing all of the words.

Photographic proof that the world has gone "weird", as Kevy put it

Driving more makes us fatter. Which makes us drive more.

Sir-Mix-A-Lot does not condone obesity....

"'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'"
"little in the middle but she got much back"
