Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 58 Diet?

Diet?


Sometimes he wished he could lose weight.


He'd always been big, but now he weighed over 23 stones!


As soon as he'd been accepted for the job he'd started overeating.


 




Strangely the bigger he got the more popular he became.


All his friends were overweight too.


They had to be.....



They were all Sumo wrestlers.





Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

Dumdad said...

You got me again - I didn't guess the last line.

It reminds me of a Jim Davidson joke. He said, "My uncle was a Sumo wrestler but he had to give it up. He got nappy rash!"

Akelamalu said...

Big yes Maggie, a necessity in his job. :)

Mmmm he is rather large Flowerpot! LOL

Glad you like it Emmie :)

I'm a big fan of Jim Davidson but I hadn't heard that one before Dumdad LOL

I would have made an excellent sumo wrestler had I weighed as much as I do now when I was younger. I'm rather glad that I didn't.

Linda said...

As I was reading this I was thinking ... okay, is it going to be a cow or a turkey or a chicken that has to go to slaughter and the bigger the better? But nope - none of those - you got me!

Travis Cody said...

HA! But now that meal looks fantastic!

Mojo said...

I was wondering how you'd put that last Akelamalu twist on this one. I should have known!

How much is a "stone" anyway? I've never been able to suss that out.
