We've heard a lot recently about the war on obesity. We have all been inundated with the health dangers associated with being overweight.
But what about the upside of obesity?
What about the positive uses for 100 pounds of fat around your abdomen? There is one!
A Minnesota woman decided to show Ms. Fancy Pants Michelle Obama a thing or two about why fat can be fabulous.
This fat soldier used her ample girth to hide a stolen mink coat in her underwear ... while she was in jail for three days.
Stephanie Moreland (pictured) was arrested earlier this month by Bloomington Police, after a local furrier reported a short mink coat was stolen by a woman. Employees at the Alaskan Fur Company confronted Moreland, after noticing her suspicious behavior in the store.
Tweet One of the sales associates, Simona Storchak, noticed that a $6,500 coat was missing, and she confronted Moreland about it. Storchak said Moreland denied having the coat and took off.
The employee wrote down the license plate on the woman's car and called police. When officers located Moreland's car a short time later, they found a hanger from the store, but no coat. After being searched for weapons, she was booked in to a Bloomington County jail on theft charges.
Three days later, a detective interviewed Moreland who admitted she stole the coat but claimed she had already sold it. With a little more prodding, and the threat of being transferred to a downtown jail, though, the suspect pulled out her trump card:
Right out of her drawers.
Imagine the policeman's surprise when Ms. Moreland suddenly lifted up her dress and pulled out the missing mink coat from her underwear.
After his eyes stopped bleeding, he made the following statement about what happened:
"She had modified her underwear. She actually cut the rear of the underwear out so that from the back it appeared she was not wearing underwear and then stuffed it down the front," said Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik.
Stehlik said the suspect, who is 46 years old, weighs about 270 pounds, which helped make it easier for her to conceal the short jacket.
Take THAT, Michelle Obama!
How are people supposed to be able to hide large mink jackets in their bloomers if we all keep eating fruits and vegetables and exercising?
Bet you didn't think about that, huh?
There's been no word on whether the missing jacket was returned to the store, but something tells me after that woman pulled it out of her behind, the store was no longer interested.
