I believe Hamlet gives us a clue to this question!! Shakespeare was quite clever in naming his characters!! I'm off to have a ham and cheese omelet -- a hamlet, definitely tubby.

...whether it is easier for the body, to carry some extra pounds or to go to a strict diet and shed off the extra weight that burdens it? Shakespeare is certainly shaking as he realizes the danger of being overthrown from literature's throne! Ha-ha! Enjoyed it dear, Jan! It made my day! Good one!
