Fat Tourists Are too Heavy for Montana Horses

This morning, the Flakes found a funny article about the tourism industry here in the great state of Montana.  For generations, more and more tourists have been flocking to our neck of the woods in search for their "western experience".  They want to know what's like to live in one of America's most untouched paradises.

Sadly, our state's tour guides are dealing with a new problem.  A lot of these tourists are too heavy to ride our horses.  In fact, vacation ranches have been forced to find bigger, sturdier horses capable of withstanding the growing weight of visitors.

One of our loyal Flakes' listeners sent in an e-mail joking about the problem.  He made an excellent point.  Not only do we need bigger horses for these overweight tourists, but their butts are getting so big, we're gonna need bigger saddles too.  And saddles ain't cheap.

The e-mail ended with a statement about how America has turned into a country of "fat slobs and lazy people".  Which led Mark to wonder if Paul actually sent himself an e-mail.  Paul insists that he's not into "selfies".  He can't help it if great minds think alike.
