What is BMI ( BARELY MADE it IN your jeans) or a bad stomache?

The question is:  What is BMI?  To people my age it sounds like something you ate that didn't sit well or its that age old question from your grandmother "When was your last Bowel movement".  Ohh bad subject! Anyways it is a common question among people today "What is your BMI?"  Those with a good BMI answer quickly, however those of us who aren't sure just smile.

BMI is Body Mass Index.  It is a formula that you use to calculates your body fat.  Now I find that pretty funny that millions of dollars have been spent on scales, books and diets to get this horrible little number.  In my day if you couldn't fit in your skinny jeans and needed the fat ones, than your fat index
(your belly) was up!  We didn't need a formula for that.  Other ways to see if your Fat Index was up, was to try and get an honest opinion on the question "Do these pants make my butt look big?"

Anyways there is a very easy formula I found that will give you that answer for your BMI.  Than when you are at gatherings for business or with friends and the question comes up, you can proudly
answer what your BMI is.
