Fat Don't Fly

One of the funniest comments I heard during the Olympic Broadcast was a comment one of the commentators made during the ski jumping competition. On the top of the large hill, was some scrawny Finnish guy who was over 6' tall and weighed less than 150 lbs. Sure enough, the guy jumps an incredulous 140 meters and the commentator blats out, "he hit a home run, what a jump. Once again, you can see that Fat Don't Fly!"

After going to Salt Lake Olympics, standing on the side of the K90 jumping hill, and seeing numerous postponements for 20 mph winds; you don't have to worry about this fat boy trying to fly.

Fellas, crack open the non-diet sodas, grab the bag of munchies or the popcorn, and enjoy the daredevils from the comfort of your couch.
