Todays weigh in at Latitudes produced what most insiders knew was a foregone conclusion from the start, a victory for me, Mayor Bill Manzi against Lawrence Mayor Michael Sullivan in the biggest loser weight loss competition. For the record Mayor Sullivan weighed in at a robust 215.5, down from 228. I weighed in at a svelte 215, down from 243. After the weigh in there was some controversy, as Mayor Sullivan, in spite of his outstanding training in mathematics at Central Catholic High School, continued to insist that he had lost more weight. When someone produced a hand calculator Mayor Sullivan reluctanctly conceded defeat.

Your Honor,
I congratulate you on your great victory. I expect to see major articles in the local news publications.
Is there a chance, now that you have shed so much lard, we can add a pastry to our bet?

Jules,
Is it not bad enough that I am in for a superjumbo coffee?

You say you weigh 215, while other media sorces have you at 225. Is this just wishful thinking on your part or do the other folks have it wrong? Either way, you still beat Sullivan. Nice job.

You should be ashamed of yourself taking advantage of an old, grey-haired man. He did not have a chance against the youthful looking Manzi.

and sullivan failed to hire smolak as his trainer, a mistake that cost him the contest.

You know he looks so old with all of that grey hair and you look so young and robust if I were you, I would challenge him to a bench press contest.In fact you should give him a 50 lb handicap so as not to embarass him, yet again.
