Fat Chance

Okay, I admit it.  I'm a little overweight.  I should probably eat better but I love my junk food, snacking on chips and pretzels or having a second piece of pie for dessert.  And I think in that regard I'm just like a million other guys.

Except for this guy.  This guy makes the rest of us pale by comparison.  Next to him, we look like a slice of salt free bacon (but bacon nevertheless).

This guy's currently in the hospital, in a bed he can't get out of, breathing with the aid of a respirator.

He's 600 pounds.  And he got that way by scamming people.  Yep, scamming people for food!  George Jolicoeur has a string of offences against him after a series of scams involving getting refunds for  food he ate and claimed was bad.  He'd order humungous restaurant meals, wipe the plate clean and then claim there was something wrong with the food.  Then he'd get off not having to pay for the meal.

He also put it to 7-11.  The latest incident involved $50 worth of beef jerkey that he bought, ate, then told the store it was moldy and demanded his money back.  But his luck ran out.  This time the store called the cops.

But guess what.  He didn't go to jail.  In a plea bargain, Jolicoeur pled no contest.  Turns out he was too big to fit in a jail cell.

I guess it's true what they say: the bigger they are the harder they fall!
