Fit People Go To Prison More Often (Unless You’re R. Kelly)

Share This:

From the New York Times:

A new study that looked at the physical characteristics of about 5,000 Arkansas inmates found that most were athletically fit when they entered prison. The researchers referred to them as mesomorphs.

Oh, there were also endomorphs and ectomorphs — fatties and skinnies to the lay people. But the study found that they were less likely to have been imprisoned for violent crimes.

Researchers used body mass index, a measure of height and weight, to assess fitness and found that mesomorphs make up an unusually large percentage of the prison population, from 62 to 73 percent.

Dr. Jeffrey Walker, of the University of Arkansas stated, “those who are fit may have personalities that are more likely to make them violent.”

Lets put this theory to the test.

Ectomorph: “Dude, how can I put on some weight?”

Me: “Eat more.”

Ectomorph: “But dude, I eat like all day long.”

Me: “What did you have for breakfast this morning?”

Ectomorph: “I didn’t have time to eat breakfast because I had to go for my 15 mile run.”

Me: *Blank stare. Complete silence. Crickets chirping. Walks away. Gets into car and drives to nearest Home Depot.*

 

One hour later:

Me: *taps on ectomorph’s shoulder*

Ectomorph: “Oh, hey. What’s up? You never answered my ques……”

Me: Brick. To. Face

UPDATE: So yeah, just got out of court and I was sentenced to two years in prison. Huh. I guess this Dr. Walker guy is onto something. On the bright side of things, there’s a bunkbed…..I call top!

Plus, get a copy of Tony’s Pick Things Up, a quick-tip guide to everything deadlift-related. See his butt? Yeah. It’s good. You should probably listen to him if you have any hope of getting a butt that good.

I don’t share email information. Ever. Because I’m not a jerk.

    Coach Outlet  timepieces can be the very best in style given that they concentrate on couple  of different  tastes. That which you may prefer when it comes to timepieces  you're certain to locate what  you're looking for by purchasing a wristwatch  through coach.Searching through websites causes it  to be simpler to get  a coach handbag in the coach Bags last second for much under  retail.Women's  winters are often marked blue eyes, brown eyes, dark grey  wheels, it appears to brown an  excessive amount of hair, truly its light brown  and appears nearly the same as her hair whitened  in the finish from the term.
