A funny thread, indeed, and I enjoyed a lot of the witty contributions.

An observation I made as a young man in a German town with a US garrison: the American soldiers' wives were visibly stronger in the lower parts of the body. Now by the global expansion of Macdonald's, Burger King et al. we can observe the same phenomenon with our women over here, too. About other countries I can't say so much, but the beautiful British female Mudcatters I have met at Hull are - how shall I say? - at least unfat.
But gentlemen, what is wrong with a well (or more) rounded lower end? It is appreciated since the early stone age, as shown by a 25.000 year old statuette, now preserved in the Vienna Museum of Natural History (back side not shown, unfortunately). And they had no fast food chains.
