Paddy's Weight Problem

[Greynomad]

Paddy went to his doctor and complained,

"Doc, I'm too fat. I've tried the Israeli Army diet, the Women's Weekly diet, the Atkins diet, and so many more diets I can't remember them all. And I'm still fat! Can you help me?"

"I'm sure I can, Paddy." says the doc.

"There's a sure-fire weight-loss program that goes like this:
Eat normally for two days, then skip the third; eat normally for another two days then skip the third; eat normally for another two days and skip the third.
Got the idea?"

I Think so." says Paddy.

"Good." replies doctor, "Come back in four weeks and we'll see how you're progressing."

Four weeks later, Paddy turns up at the surgery, 30 kilograms lighter!

"Marvellous!" exclaims the doctor, "You're doing wonderfully."

"Thanks doc," says Paddy, "but that third day nearly killed me!"

"What, the hunger pangs?" asks the doc.

"No!" says Paddy, "The bloody skipping!"
