[Propertalk] A story that probably can't be used because the 'new' gospel pericope cuts out the 'good part'

[Joe Parrish]

      Foodis the subject of various bits of humor. Totie Fields said, "I've been on a diet for two weeks, and all Ihave lost is two weeks."  A story istold about a man who was very overweight. His doctor put him on a diet.  Thedoctor said, "I want you to eat regularly for two days and then skip aday.  Repeat this procedure for twoweeks.  The next time I see you, youshould have lost at least five pounds." When the man returned, he shocked the doctor by obviously having lostnearly twenty pounds.  The doctor said,"Why this is amazing!  Did youfollow my instructions?"  The mannodded.  "I'll tell you, though, Ithought I was going to drop dead that third day."  The doctor asked, "From hunger, youmean?"  The man replied, "No,from skipping."
      Didthe crowd in the wilderness just skip a meal?
