BPN Jokes & Quotes: Toddler Miracle Diet!

(found on the internet, author unattributed)
 
      Americans are always on the lookout for a new diet. The trouble with
      most diets is that you don't get enough to eat (the starvation diet),
      or you don't get enough variation (the liquid diet), or you go broke
      (the all-meat diet).
 
      Consequently, people tend to cheat on their diets, or quit after 3
      days, or go right back to stuffing their faces after it is all over.
      Is there nothing you can do but give up and tell your friends you have
      a gland problem? Or is there a slim (groan) hope?
 
      Well, now there's the new Toddler Miracle Diet!
 
      Over the years you may have noticed, as I have, that most
      two-year-olds are trim. It came to me one day over a cup of black
      coffee and a carrot that perhaps their diet is the reason. After
      consultation with pediatricians, X-ray technicians, and distraught
      moms, I was able to formulate this new diet. It is inexpensive,
      offering great variety and sufficient quantity.  Before embarking on
      this diet, however, be sure to check with your doctor... otherwise you
      might have to see him afterward. Good luck!
