Funny but true

[pumba]

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and
populated the Earth with broccoli and cauliflower and
spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds,
so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then
using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and
Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate
with that?" And Man said "Yeh," and Woman said, "and
another one with sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And
the stockholders were very happy. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep
the figure that Man found so fair. Satan brought forth
white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and
combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan
presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and
garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened
their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables
and olive oil in which to cook them. "And Satan brought
forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it
needed its own platter. Hilltop Steak House thrived! And
man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the
roof.

God created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel
Food Cake," and said "it is good." Satan then created
chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

God then brought running shoes so that his children might
lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a
remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the
channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the
flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and
brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful
skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and
deep-fried them. And

Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer
calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created
McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said
"You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yeh! And
super size 'em." And Satan said "It is good." And Man went
into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

I dunno PUMBA, I've posted jokes that I thought were harmless fun that were removed/flamed/etc because there were some that didn't see the humor in them and I was pretty much told that I was insensitive. I've learned that I need to be PC here on the DIS, as some people just can't take a joke, no matter how funny and cute YOU may think it may be. (oh, and I thought it was funny myself...)a few

I thought if there would be any flames, it would be from soemone who worked for a HMO. I neer thought of it from the heart attack viewpoint
