Diet Pill Did Not Work

Ate a piece of double chocolate cake. Was not satisfied, then I took a pink diet pill. Diet pill did not work. Had another piece of cake. A sliver this time. Still hungry. Ate two bags of chips. Small ones. Sugar, salt, salt, sugar. Why don’t you take another diet pill? Husband suggested. So I had that engraved on his tombstone.
