Tank Johnson, the Army of One defensive tackle for Chicago, is 6-3 and weighs 300 pounds. If you're 6-3 and weigh 300 pounds, why do you need a gun? Does he get picked on? I can see how people would fear you when you walk around carrying a warhead, but doesn't it get in the way?

You know what would be fun? To walk down Lincoln Road with a megaphone and yell, "Hang up!" In the line in front of me at the coffee shop are three people, each of them on the phone.

On Wednesday a guy talked on a cell phone for at least 20 of the 30 minutes he was on the treadmill next to me. You know what you get when you talk while you work out? A conversation. I think the guy weighed more when he left the gym than when he entered.
