ROFLMAO....

So an obese 40 stone person can lose more weight that a comparatively
slender 14 stone person....Big news..... quick call the papers!!!!...the
American are swapping from monster trucks to normal cars coz of 3USD
gas......!!!

Blimey so cutting back on the number of 3 decker cakes from 5 a day to 4
  means that a lardy arse loses 5 stone over a year.

Good news Gary, you'll be able to repeat this mail again & again given
how energy obese the US is.

On average for every 1 usd of production the US uses 40% more energy than
any other economy... so....you've got a long way before you can see your
feet.
