I thought your article had a bunch of very good points, but that's not my particular problem. I just eat too much, in search of sensory overload. Too bigga portions, devoured too quickly.

Well this is the sad part; what will happen is that all limps will garner sneers, since the cheating limp will be twenty times more common than the real limp.

There will be the reverse tragedy too: when the real limp person gets a smile and a thumbs-up from the guy with the cheater's limp.

The real limper may come to resent the label, and he may decide to cheat, at least once, so he can at least earn it.

Meanwhile the cheater limpers are coming up with cover stories. "I was in the first Gulf War... I was Agent Orange..." And so their noses get longer.

Now it's a triple tragedy for the real limpers with actual long noses.
