Banned from the Buffet!

Ricky Labit, a 6-foot-3 disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular at the Manchuria Restaurant, eating there as often as three times a week. But on his most recent visit, he said a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.

"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.



The poor guy isn't even fat!


"I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277,Borrelli said.

the men were charged an extra $10 each on Dec. 21 because they made a habit of dining exclusively on the more expensive seafood dishes, including crab legs and frog legs.


The proprietor of the restaurant should have taken something like this into account and figured the prices using a worst-case scenario.

when i was in college my friends and i would find someone with a car, load up and go to old country buffet. yes it was a bit nasty but where else could you eat until you want to explode and then top it off with a sundae with oreo cookies on top? it's a wonder i didn't gain the freshman 115.

True, true, you do have to take mitigating factors like muscle mass into account. But all I know is my cousin, who at one point clocked in at 6'1" and 280. Child looked like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man gone goth. bok

Uh, 277 at 6'3" is still BIG. Actually, unless you're lifting, I'd say it's probably a bit overweight.

The BMI for someone 6'3 and weighing in at 277 lbs is 34.6, which is considered not even overweight, but obese.

I don't put too much stock into the BMI because it doesn't counter in muscle mass, but clearly this guy was fat, not a bodybuilder.

by military standards, the max weight for a man age 28-39 for 75 inches is 217 pounds (40+ is 220 pounds). the men in my division that barely meet that requirement (and are roughly the same height) are pretty large. the man's more than just a bit overweight, but depending on his muscle mass he may or may not look obese. considering that he's disabled, though, he probably does.

Hmmmm. . .If we can assume for the moment that the universe is cyclical, and at its end it will return to an infinitely massive singularity. . .EVERYONE would weigh too much to eat there.

You know, I originally went with the petunia line, and I didn't think anyone would get it. I'm sorry for underestimating you guys, and girls, marriage proposals have been officially offered.
