This holiday is a joyous one, full of reflections on the incredible obesity of other people’s mothers.
Jokes are exchanged, such as:
Yo mama’s so fat, she gets her toenails painted at Earl Schieb’s.
Yo mama’s so fat, she masturbates reading cookbooks.
Yo mama’s so fat, she puts on her lipstick with a paint-roller.
Even Morrissey got into the spirit of things with The Smiths song “Some Girls are Bigger than Others.� Whether he was referring to a particular body part or the whole person is unclear.
“Your Mama’s So Fat…� Tuesday always occurs on the day before M*A*S*H Wednesday. The parties, parades, and heckling will continue until Dryer Lent begins at the stroke of midnight.
