Death of a couch potato

This is a tragdey of obesity. It would have been comical if the person did not actually die. She was only 40 years old. Sad.

That is a long time. How did she move or did she move? 2 to 5 years in the same place. Who fed her, who took care of her? Wow and I complain about staying at my desk at work for 8 hours.

Where is that photo of the guy with the phone: "Hold on, I'm calling bull*****"....

How did she, um, use the facilities if she was grafted onto the couch?

`The stench was so powerful they had to blast in fresh air`

and

`Removing her would be too painful, since her body is grafted to the fabric`

I guess that gives you the explanation regarding the, um, facilities issues.
