Dear Eduardo, 

The reason for my chubby calculus is that I do the cooking at my house. 
Like my dog Jacob, I have a tendency to prefer high-fat dairy products to 
the low-fat varieties. 

Blame it on Pythagoras. The Pythagoreans forbid eating beans. I'm certain 
this leads to chubby calculus. To accompany lamb dishes or to enrich and 
thicken fresh soup (or boiled beef), I often use beans. Unlike David's 
dog, I have never been able to achieve a proper form. 

Fortunately, my tall, elegant wife has a fondness for short, slightly 
chubby calculists who are losing hair and growing long in the tooth. Along 
with the dogs in my pack, Ditte likes my cooking. Somehow, her form never 
changes, while mine does. 

Yours, 

Ken
