Scottish Flesh Eating Bug is Weight Loss Miracle
By Talisker
13 February 2007
Scottish epidemiologist Dr. Shuggie McVirus has teamed up with dietician Senga Slimcow to create a revolution in dieting and weight loss.  Dr. McVirus explained to gathered press:

“We have discovered that, similarly to the human population, the Scottish flesh-eating super-bug has a distinct preference for fatty food.  We have now “trained” a particular strain of a virus discovered in a chip shop in Coatbridge to eat only human fat deposits”

Ms Slimcow continued:

“We can gie the bug orally or by injection tae a fat bastard victim, errr, patient. These bugs are kept feckin’ stervin’, so when released intae the boady they go on a big lard binge, chompin’ up aw the flab they kin git thur manky teeth intae”

When asked the rather obvious question of what would become of the bloated super-bugs when the host body fat was exhausted, Dr. McVirus jumped in to explain:

“That is the really clever bit!  The bugs never live more than a few days before keeling over with a heart attack, their cholesterol is at an unsustainable level.  Normally, the bug would also multiply, but if this fat-fed strain even tries to shag, the coronary comes on even earlier, usually during the foreplay stage”.

The revolutionary treatment is not to be offered on the NHS, but can be obtained directly from Dr. McVirus.  Visit his website at www.fatbastards.co.sco or by calling him on his mobile number 076605 889 667.

Wow, a Scots bug indulging in foreplay; rather than kill him off he could give instuctional talks to groups of Scotsmen. No offence. 
A very weird mixture of plasibilty and surreal nonsense. 
That websites had a million hits already 
cheers

I'm in! Actually, I'm amazed someone hasn't tried fat-eating bugs already. I think the only problem would be to keep them from eating up the fat in places where you actually wanted it.  
 
Great idea, and very funny, Oli.

Enjoyed this Oli. Could do with a few of the fat chewing little beasties myself. Two stones on in four months of non-smoking. 
 
Poor buggers never even get to shag. What would the anti cruelty lot say?

Well he's certainly done his market research and aimed at the copious amount of lard buckets up north.  
 
Aren't fatso's funny? Seems they're the only ones we normal people can still take the piss out of without risking a lawsuit. 
 
Cheers

Old news.

Talisker, 
your story is old news. Today I read in Focus, 
 
A man can lose a kilo in 40 years of farting!! 
 
It takes a woman 80 years to lose the same weight.? 
 
That, according to Focus, is because women fart half as much as men!!! 
 
Facit..All you fatties out there START FARTING. 
 
I'm trying beabs and breadsoda to speed up the process. 
 
Patricia :grin :grin :grin

I agree with Talisker above - hilarious. I thought at one point you were going to reveal it was Gorgeous George himself - particularly liked the "clever bit" - mark my words, there'll be a few weegie takers...
