Block my calories.

At half past one in the afternoon the phone rang. Being a very paranoid person I'm always trying to figure out who's phoning before answering. Yes, I know that the obvious solution to this problem would be to get a number presentation thingy, but 1) so many people have secret or unknown numbers anyway and 2) I like being unfashionable when it comes to technology. That's not the point though. I couldn't figure out who would possibly phone me at that hour. When I answered I found out it was a woman probably my own age, and in a very solemn voice she declared that I had been chosen by whatever company to try their calorie-blockers free of charge. I quickly informed her (unlike my mother I'm habitually polite to whoever phone me, even if they want to sell me stuff) that I didn't need any calorie-blockers, but thanks anyway and have a nice day. But as I sat down with my books again I immediatly regreated letting her go that easily. I would've loved to hear her explain to me what the hell calorie-blockers are and why she thought I needed them. Basically, the aim of these blockers is to prevent the body from digesting and absorbing calories, starch or whatever. I'm no expert on metabolism, digestion or whatever, but I mean... The reason I eat is because I need these things. I need my calories. Calories are energy, right? The day I wake up the size of a small house I'll consider blocking them. Until then I'll just continue eating and excercising whenever I feel like it.
