I used to commute to work by bus. It took 2-1/2 hours one way -- so I did a lot of knitting on the bus. I sat right behind the driver.
Some time passed after I stopped commuting and began working at a new job closer to our home. I joined a rowing club and began competing, working out constantly, getting less skinny and nice and "buff." I thought I looked better.
But one day at a Christmas party for the rowing club members, I met a member's husband who knocked me off my feet. He turned to me and said, "Hey, I remember you! I used to be on the same bus with you. You used to sit behind the driver and knit a lot. Yeah, that was you. What happened to you? You used to be so nice and thin!"
Whaddya say to a wise guy like that? "Oh yeah? Well, I may be fat, but I can lose weight. You're ugly!"
