Dear Dr.
Robinett:
I am
clinically overweight. Perhaps overweight is too light a word. I weigh 423
pounds.
As you are a
dietitian, and I am in need of a good diet, I am writing this letter to inquire
about your services and practices. I have tried virtually every single diet out
there, including the donut diet, the caffeine diet, and the sugar-cane diet, but
all of them seem to be contributing to my obesity.
I hope that I
can come to your establishment via the back of a pickup truck and we can meet
and discuss a good diet plan for me. I am willing to pay whatever you normally
charge, as I am aware of the short future that lies ahead if I continue to weigh
this much. I have been to other dietitians in the past, but none of their plans
worked for me. I have heard much praise about you, so I thought I’d give you a
try. If your diet plan works, I’ll take you out for ice cream.
Please
respond to my inquiry, as the sooner I start a good diet the sooner I can be
normal again.
Yours truly,

Kevin

Dear Dr.
Robinett:
Thank you
for taking the time to respond to my letter of July 9, 2005, inquiring about
your nutrition services. I really appreciated the post card, Tacoma is my
favorite city.
As I have
said before, I am extremely obese and do not know what to do. When I was a
wee lad in grade school, I had to be pushed to class by an powerful
bulldozer. These days I get around by rolling. Except I can’t fit through
doorways. So I’ve basically been stuck in this room for several years, and
my wife has been bringing me food, water, bedpans, etc. so I would stay
alive. Because she’s nice.
So I was
wondering what you could do to help. I am willing to go to Tacoma for those
monthly follow-ups you requested… anything to help lower my weight. 10
Arnold Schwarzeneggers trying to lift me would strain under my massive
blubber.
Please
let me know when I could start your program – I know your practice is full
but let me know of the first opening. (Although I may not be able to fit
into said opening, ha ha ha).
Sincerely
Overweight,

Kevin

I wonder how long I can keep this up?

Dear Dr.
Robinett:
I
appreciate your rapid response to my letter again, but unfortunately
September the 13th is no good. You see, I have a pie eating
contest that day. I am hoping to win for the 5th year in a row.
Friends and foes alike sometimes know me as Peter the Pie Eater. Although I
insist that my name is not Peter, they call me this anyway. I don’t like it.
But
anyway, I really, really need to control this weight problem. I am scared of
living a very short life. But like I said I can’t make an appointment for
the 13th of September because I have that contest. And in all
fairness, it came first.
I am
writing to you to request that you schedule me for the next available date.
I am usually free from Thursday to Saturday each week. The rest of the week,
I work in a chocolate cake factory making chocolate cakes. Yum!
Thank you
for helping me out in this urgent matter of health.
In good
health,

Kevin
Dickinson

I think she
doesn't have a clue that I'm not serious. I've decided not to write any more
letters to her, though, because she has a business to run and half of me
feels bad for wasting her time. It is pretty funny, though.

Dear Dr.
Robinett:
It is
with the most sorrowful regret from the deepest part of my ever mourning
heart to inform you that Kevin Dickinson, who had an extremely obese body
but a heart made of the richest, more pure chocolate, has passed away. I
would like to express my deepest condolences to you, Dr. Robinett, as I
recall him telling me you two were the best of friends.
Please
therefore cancel his appointment, scheduled for September 22nd,
2005, at
11:30a.m.
I apologize for giving you such short notice.
Kevin
Dickinson, who was born in
Marlton,
NJ, led a very productive life. At age 4, he weighed just over 228 lbs. 1
oz. He steadily gained weight for the remainder of his life and although he
never got a chance to lose any of it, he told me that you played a major
part in his moral support. This year, as he turned 37, he weighed 423 lbs.
and required the assistance of a small crane in order to move.
He worked
all his life at a chocolate cake factory, making chocolate cakes for the
good of humankind. They are fairly tasty by my standards.
Although
words on paper may not be the best form of condolences in the death of a
loved one, this is the best way I am able to convey my sympathy for you.
This letter also serves as an invitation to Kevin’s funeral, the date for
which has not yet been decided upon. Are you free on that day? There will be
chocolate cake.
With
sympathy,

Mr.
Wilkinson
