Avoirdupois

Avoirdupois The endomorph enjoys our affection as the comic figure of tradition. Friar Tuck, Falstaff, and Old Toby recall rotund revels and ribaldry. Devils are always portrayed as thin. the clown invariably has a double chin. Unlike the hero, who's always victorious, his wind and walk are somewhat laborious. Though he's never very heroic, who honestly ever loved a stoic? Confronted by his conviviality cynics think rather jealously: 'It's just that unlike the lean he's much too slow to be mean.'
