Floor collapses at Swedish Weight Watchers clinic

The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Växjö in south central Sweden collapsed on Wednesday night beneath a group of about 20 participants in the weight-loss programme.

The Weight Watchers participants had gathered in the group’s facilities to see how much weight they had lost.

As it turned out, however, people’s weight was not the only thing to fall.

“We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls,” one of the participants told the Smålandsposten newspaper.

Then floor then started to give way in other parts of the room. Shortly thereafter, the smell of sewage began to waft up into the room.

How many people pooped their pants?

All of them?

This is a very heavy situation. Lots of people evidently weighing all the facts, dishing them up, and serving them out.

But even with all of that, the structure of the topic gave way to meatier claims.

I never met a fat blonde I didn't like.   :-)

According to liberal propaganda, there are no fat people in Sweden.  If we had gummint-run everything, we'd all be thin, blonde, and healthy like they are.  Or something.

Oh man, Mr. Eupher with the win.

But seriously, someones fat is going into the fire over this incident. Sure, the chance of finding evidence might be pretty thin, but think of the gravity of the situation. I don't know waddle be the explanation. Thankfully the rotunda didn't collapse as well.

Once they clear away the Twinkies wrappers, the whole thing is going to render down to just a few hundred kilos. It was bloated to begin with. Sow could something like this happen?

Lining up at the feed trough can be a boaring experience. I mean, it's the same ol' faces, same ol' pink, same ol' curly tails.
