I’ve a friend who’s a bit of a foodie, and let’s just say he’s got a bit of extra padding to show for it! I like to poke fun at him with some lighthearted fat puns and jokes, hoping he’ll get the hint to hit the gym and balance out his love for food.
But instead of getting defensive, he’s started firing back with his own fat jokes and puns! It’s become a fun game, and I’ve gathered some of our favorites to share with you. If you’ve got friends who could use a laugh (and maybe a little motivation), pass these along – who knows, they might just inspire them to make some healthy changes!
