This was one of the many humorous song my elderly brother used to like to sing! He did love his heavy wife and was loyal to her thru sickness at the end. Thank you for this song! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No, not a narcissist. He loved people and was a good man. Served his country, the elderly, loved his family and God. He had a huge funeral as he never met a person he didn't like nor said a bad thing about others.
So she is so big that he did not see the other guy hugging on her until he made his way around the mountain of fat?! And they were both working their way around her mountain of fat using chalk as a prospecting tool to mark where they have been?
303 is rookie numbers. In the 30s they could have toured the country as part of a freak show. Today you can walk into any Walmart and you’ll see more than one waddling around. We live in a golden era ❤
I mean I gotta admire the dedication, he doesn’t talk her down or anything it’s just the preconceptions of some of the listeners that seems to demean her, which is more telling of them.
Chris Rock had a bit in his act about white women realizing that when Black men start hitting on them, they need to go on a diet. As a white woman who's put on weight, I definitely noticed the change in who was hitting on me. 😂
@@samanthavanscoder9536Height has to do with your arm span. 300 pounds may be big (that also depends on height, how big that weight actually is and looks), but it’s not double a typical man’s arm span such that they would be “finding another man” on the other side. However, if the two men were little people/people with dwarfism, their arm span would be significantly shorter, and thus they might not be able to reach around the woman’s waist. Also, I highly doubt that when you saw certain 300 pound people, you’d say they’re as big as you envision. People hold their weight differently and appear differently, especially if they have varying amounts of muscle as well as fat.
Don't fat-shame or kink-shame. If he likes a large lady who likes being large, ain't nobody else's place to take exception. "I'm not the world's most physical guy but when she held me tight she nearly broke my spine . . .
