Apple-shaped compared to pear-shaped? Sorry, apple-shaped brings to mind a broad chest and tight butt -- as in a fit guy -- especially compared to pear-shaped -- which brings to mind a big, fat butt and belly. Unless you can think of a fruit analogy that is broad and flat, I suggest we dispense with the food analogies.

Lies. All lies. I hate living. Like a lot of us, I''m afraid to commit suicide. I smoke voraciously and deliberately put on 60 lbs. hoping I''d keel over. Fit as a fiddle. I can''t even catch a cold. Between the age of 25 and 40, I didn''t even have a cough. I haven''t been sick in two years now, and I''m 55. Don''t worry about your weight or other "bad" habits. Just will yourself to die and you will dance on the graves of the joggers you know.
