I need to cut that out and send it to my doctor. It's not that I'm fat, my personal airbag just deployed a little early.

My wife says she's not fat, she's fluffy.

If doughnuts put the pounds on so quickly, how do the cops stay so thin?

You haven't looked at many cops then.

Some are just younger and have faster metabolisms, but most older cops are 'portly'.
