Blonde's Diet
-------------------------

A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a
diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day,
and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you,
you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."

When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing
nearly 20 pounds.

"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my
instructions?"

The blonde nodded... "I'll tell you though, I thought I was
going to drop dead that 3rd day."

"From hunger, you mean?", asked the doctor."

"No, from skipping."
