So people said Josh had put on a few pounds, meaning he had got fatter? But he hadn't really? And he was comfortable with them thinking that he had put on a few pounds? Was them saying this preferable to the reality? Did Josh look like he had put on a few pounds? | ||

Is what Josh was wearing relevant? Was he padded out? Did he actually look fatter, or did he just look like he was heavier (eg he was making the chair creak by sitting on it)? Did Josh want them to think he had put on a few pounds? Or did he just not mind that they thought it? "Everyone said..." did they express their thoughts to Josh? Someone else? Relevant? Relevant who "everyone" refers to? I'm assuming it doesn't literally refer to evryone in the world? | ||

Is the reason Josh didn't mind everyone thinking that he's put on a few pounds just because he knows he hasn't, so it doesn't bother him? Or is there more to it than that? Did Josh know why they thought he had put on a few pounds? Would Josh still feel comfortable if the people were right and he had put on weight? The relevant thing Josh was wearing, is it clothes?

Did the shirt on top serve some sort of function besides making him appear larger? You mentioned that wearing this item for his 'well-being' was closest. It wasn't prescribed to him by a medical professional? He would be less comfortable if he didn't have it on? Is it a shirt? Long-sleeves? Am I likely to be wearing it right now? Would 'coat' or 'hoodie' be more appropriate? Is it closer to something like a pressurized suit for deep-sea diving, something that he must wear to be able to do something he normally wouldn't be able to? Is there any writing on the shirt that matters at all? Does the shirt have any unusual features? Maybe it's a tight-fitting shirt for use while working out or something? Its composition isn't important? Maybe the shape, layout, or design of it is? Can he do something while wearing the shirt that would be easier, or otherwise impossible, with it on? (besides fool his friends into thinking that he gained weight) It's a lightweight shirt? Less than a pound if that? | ||

********* SPOILER ************* A Japanese clothing manufacturer, Kochou-fuku, announced in August a line of air-conditioned shirts, with two tiny battery-operated fans inside to evaporate perspiration (for the equivalent of about $95). (One drawback: The shirt billows out, suggesting that the wearer is overweight.) [Reuters, 8-17-07] Thanks so much everyone. That was a tough nute to crack. Well done! |
