                                could'nt sleep as well.

Q. 
 | Do I actually have to read 
                                my diet books? 
 |  
| 
A. 
                                
 | 
No. 
                                There is no medical evidence that reading leads 
                                to weight loss. Simply keep the books in a 
                                prominent location in your home, and 
                                occasionally press them against your thighs and 
                                buttocks.

Q.

 Is there any kind of 
                                operation I can have that will help me lose 
                                weight?

  There 
                                are quite a few such operations, but probably 
                                the most effective one, with the fewest negative 
                                side effects, is to have an airline pet 
                                transporter bonded to your skull with 
                                fast-drying epoxy cement enabling you to eat 
                                only those foods which will pass through the 
                                mesh door, such as fettuccine and licorice.

What about absurd 
                                mechanical weight loss devices, such as those 
                                motorized belts that were always shown jiggling 
                                the massive hips of pasty middle-aged females?

 |  These 
                                devices are extremely effective. The fat just 
                                melts away. Two such females, in fact, went on 
                                to become Bo Derek and Victoria Principal. This 
                                is why you never see those machines in health 
                                clubs any more: The clubs took them out because 
                                their members were leaving at an alarming rate 
                                to accept lucrative film contracts. This is a 
                                shame, really, because it leaves the 
                                weight-conscious person without any kind of 
                                guaranteed, surefire, safe, proven weight loss 
                                device. If only somebody would make such a 
                                device available to the general public.
