Paddy's Diet

Paddy the Irishman was looking grim, Put on his wife's diet to make him slim, However Paddy kept sneaking out to the pub To down some whisky and eat some grub, I'm afraid Paddy won't be getting too trim.

Yes Andrea, Paddy likes his whisky too much, I don't think the diet will work, even with his wife's best intentions. Thanks for having a read---kind regards---John

He's supposed to have exercised in exact proportion to the increase in his food intake. Hmmn...I'll send Jim over so Paddy will have a gym buddy. Good morning John!

I just don't think Paddy understands the basics of keeping fit Kim, you better get Jim, perhaps that way they can both get trim. Thanks for stopping by Kim.....John
