Needless to say - I never tried "walking it off" ever again.

That's a good one. I saw a bumper sticker on a car once that I hated; it said "When the aliens land, they're gonna eat all you fat people first." Sometimes I wish I could've followed that car and put on top of that mean sticker one that said, "When the famines hit--which let's face it, is more likely than aliens landing--all you skinny people are gonna die first." But that would be too long for a bumper sticker, lol.
