#3 Good for them, wish we could get rid of fat asses who won't lose the weight regardless of gender just as quickly.

#5 Reminds me of a song I heard the polka band play at an Italian-Slovak wedding reception long ago . . .

I don't want her
You can have her
She's too fat for me
Too too fat for me . . .

#6 Mike - that's the "Too Fat Polka" by Frank Yankovic. In Cleveland during the 60's there was a TV show on Sunday afternoons called "Polka Varieties" with Paul Wilcox as host and Yankovic was featured (live) many times.

I am so ashamed I remember this stuff. . . .

#7 Don't forget "Larry Walk's Happy Polka Hour" every Sunday on WNIO, and the annual "Penn-Ohio Polka Festival" at the Idora Park ballroom.

There's a radio station in Akron that still has a weekly "Polka Explosion!" show.

Heaven help us!

#8 My late father-in-law was a Reading PA area judge, and according to him a good knowledge of Polka was mandatory for an aspiring pol.
