Thanks for this informative profile titled "The Happy Glutton" JayBee, I have learned some valuable life lessons. These include the value of smiling non-stop all day for no particular reason, the benefit of overeating at every meal in order to one day have a body the size of mother, the ability to disregard water and creatures running up the walls and the ability to sleep soundly when a beam of light shines in your face relentlessly while still retaining that genuine smile.
JayBee I have found a source for those striped T-shirts, cuffed blue jeans and cowboy belts btw....I'll send it along.

Was this a Public Service Announcement? If so, who was it brought to us by?

I have to go with JD on this one. I found it immensely instructional, and have taken the lessons to heart. It's never too late to improve one's eating habits.
My only regret was that they didn't address the problem of persistent rising damp on the walls. We have a small wet stain in a corner of one room after a lengthy period of rain, and some remedial advice would have been welcome. Maybe they did a separate video on that topic? "How To Raise Your Children as Amphibians". I'm looking forward to that one.

ok.................maybe ONE more......this time it`s a frazzled family who sits at the table yet never gets to eat....Dad seems to think that used seat covers would solve so many issues........................this is NOT the sort of household that would attract the likes of Bill Gobbler

@john-barry It is so heartwarming to see such immediate change in chronically spoiled children who only have to discuss daily family problem sources once to fully appreciate their own lack of contribution and make responsible changes. So much easier to accomplish when personal hand held devices aren't yet invented. They must have known that to do so would ensure that they will get to smile 24-7 like young binger Bill's family up the street. Dad's single commitment to sacrifice new car seat covers for the old Customline showed true leadership and the appearance of sacrifice, while adding to his ulterior motive of making the heap look tattered so he could trade it in on a new '56 Fairlane convertible in the spring. Gosh it is nice to see them just six months later, gathered around the dinner table, smiling at one another in deep appreciation, as mother sets down her delicious and on time pot roast dinner and joins them with a relaxed and radiant expression of pure joy and fulfilment. Father's expression mirrors that of mother, as he smirks to himself and thinks of how little he had to do in all this to save some dough on the side and of his appointment with Slippin' Jimmy tomorrow to deal on that nearly new Fairlane.
