Tom Smith Bolts It Down

Tom Smith usually has only 15 minutes to eat lunch so he bolts it down. This does not mean he eats
much for lunch since he only has a sandwich and a coffee. However, his wife Susan loves cooking and she
always whips up a wonderful dinner. This explains why Tom is not so thin. He pigs out every evening on a
full course dinner - a roast with vegetables and a pasta side and to top it off, a big dessert which Susan
picks up on the way home from school where she is a teacher. Susan is quite petite, so it is not surprising
that she only picks at all the food she prepares and just gnaws at a carrot or some other vegetable while
she listens to Tom speak about his day. For breakfast, Tom sometimes warms up Susan's left-overs and
then he runs off for another day of work. This is against the doctor's advice so Tom should think about
cutting back on meat and eggs to bring down his cholesterol. Actually, Mary, the woman who helps
them with their house also has high cholesterol, even though she has cut out meat and eggs and is on a
diet of fish and steamed vegetables. Recently, however, Susan has noticed that the whiskey bottle is
emptying out quite quickly so she suspects that Mary is knocking it back now and again. This would be
OK except for the fact that this is Susan's favourite bottle of whiskey!
