I came across this in a newspaper and I thought it was funny in a way. A hotel in Germany is charging its fat guests extra fees (fat fees hehe). The three star Ostfriesland hotel altered its prices, charging the equivalent of $0.54 per kilo (wonder if they weigh them when they're checking in hehe). The claims the owner of the hotel makes is that the hotel wants to reward thinner guests because they're likely to visit more often. According to him slim guests live longer and can therefore come more often, and this would be the reason to reward them. So I guess staying slim does have its fringe benefits it seems. Hmm wonder if airlines start doing that what would happen... would people lose weight just to get cheaper air tickets?? What if governments start to administer a fat tax just to fatten their revenues, would the world be a thinner healthier place?? Makes one wonder doesn't it hehe...
