A woman in Florida — an innocent bystander — is shot when entering a bar.
The woman lives. Why? According to the article:
Frazier told The Press of Atlantic City that ‘I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life.”
The new body armor: flab. 😉
Frazier also told the newspaper that she had been “hollering” that she wanted to lose weight. She now said “I want to be as big as I can if it’s going to stop a bullet.”
Hrm. If needing to stop a bullet is something you find yourself worrying about on a daily basis and you’re not say a cop, SWAT, military (i.e. where your job requires you to field incoming fire on a daily basis)… then you may just want to rethink the whole of your lifestyle choices. That may be healthier for you in the long run.

If fat is all it takes, then I could probably stand in front of a Ma Deuce without getting hurt…
