I think it's just my history with stupidity that makies me cring at such remarks. I had a boss once who was maybe, 20 pounds overwieght and thought that entitled him to make all manner of horrible size related comments on the job. When I'd protest, he'd pat his barely protruding gut as if that entitled him to disregard my wish to not be insulted on the job.
