A dumb guy is overweight, so his doctor puts him on a diet.
‘I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat that for two weeks. The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least five pounds.’
When the guy returns, he’s lost nearly 20 pounds.”
“‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ the doctor says. ‘Did you follow my instructions?’
The guy nods. ‘I’ll tell you, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day.’
‘From hunger, you mean?’ said the doctor.
‘No, from skipping,’ replied the guy.”
