Fat just ain't where's it's at anymore...

Ok, here's the dilemma. On the far left are 5 Werner drivers. Ok, sorry, they're not Werner drivers, they just look like typical Werner drivers. We all know we're too fat. The FMCSA wants us to loose weight, reduce diabetes and lower our blood pressure. The government wants us healthy. They don't want us to get paid more, get overtime or buy affordable health insurance, but they want us thin and happy. So Glaxo Smith Klein comes out with this over the counter FDA approved weight loss "drug" called Alli. Their web site is http://myalli.com/. If you take this stuff, eat a low fat diet and exercise, the idea is you will lose weight. The problem we're all hearing is that if you eat any fat, you're going have a few difficulties with - we'll be polite here - going to the bathroom. None of us have tried this new drug. If you have any health insurance, they will not pay for it. We just found the web site and are reading all about it. We recommend you learn more about the whole program. Don't do anything without talking to your doctor first. We'll keep you posted. And FYI drivers, we working on a story about being 50 something and working up the courage to have a colonoscopy. Fun, fun, fun.
*by the way the Alli photo, mention of the drug Alli and Glaxo Smith Klein is all trademarked, copyrighted, rights reserved - bla bla bla and if they don't like what we've done here they can drop us a line and we'll change it - ok? And, the staff at http://acourtesyflush.blogspot.com/ does not recommend this drug nor has anything in the world to do with Alli or Glaxo Smith Klein. Jesus. And again, see your damn doctor first before you do anything. Got it? Good.
