If it's a fat joke, it's not funny
The "no food for you, tubby" bill introduced in the Mississippi legislature by this guy strikes me as a gag.
Although W.T. Mayhall Jr. doesn't look like he has a sense of humor.
He looks more like he could use a good meal.
If I were to take him seriously, I'd ask who the heck he thinks he is saying overweight folks can't be served at certain restaurants. Everyone's got a right to eat.
Just like everyone's got a right to come up with dumb ideas. Some politicians come up with more than their share of dumb ideas, and some people eat more than their share. As long as they pay their bill, I don't see why a restaurant ought to cut them off.
I've got a pretty fair appetite myself, and if I missed a week or two or running I'd probably balloon into the overweight category. At that point, I'll be smart if I don't eat all I can eat at the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at Golden Corral. But that should be my choice.
W.T. Mayhill Jr. strikes me as a skinny old meddler ...
... unless I've totally missed his sense of humor.

Not only that! But Brother Mayhall appears to be a secret devil goat worshiper on the weekends, when he is not a Republican........No doubt Brother Mayhall has never read the part in the Constitution about not getting free meals in politics?
"Representative Mayhall is a member of Horn Lake Masonic Lodge 666,"
" Represenative Mayhall has said he has endorsed Admiral McCain for President and Pastor Huckabee for VP during a drive though at Wendy's yesterday. He also deny that he ride goats and hates fat people"
" Represenative Mayhall also said he would provide a new bill next year before the Mississippi legislature about letting ugly people enter gaming Casio's at Gulfport"

This is a viable idea - if you don't have enuf discipline, pride, and common sense to take care of your own health & safety it's time for the government to step in - it is illegal to serve alcohol to intoxicated people, drug laws are enforced, in some areas trans-fats are prohibited, public health laws are enforced, automobile seat belt laws are enforced. Let's shut down those obscene all-you-can-eat binge places - ill health is costly to American society -

Excuse me! The nanny people are always telling us what to do. Berkley told the marines too get out of town. Not a peek from the far left.
A judge in Massachusetts ruled parents most allow their children to sit through homosexaul classes. Not a peek from the far left. We read every day smoking causes health problems. Fat people cause health problems to! CM you are right ugly people should not be allowed general use of a casino, they should have a special place for ugly people. You know like they do smokers. Have a nice day. going to get a sneaky round of golf today. Wife going out of town to play. The minute she leaves, so do I .
