Punchline Needed.

Can anyone help me here.

Not for a sketch or stand up, this is a little story I tell in my talks.

A true story, that isn't really funny,but it would be nice if it had a nice "non offensive" punchline to it. Any thoughts?

With me eating more and more, the next few years of my life were be filled with embarrassing weight or size related incidents.

My best friend at school was about to get married and I was given the task of being the best man. The wedding was to take place in Leeds, about a five hour drive away. And hence there was no way that I could go for a fitting of the morning suit before the big day. So when I arrived it was all waiting for me in the hotel room. And of course, the waistcoat didn't fit, didn't even come close. There was simply nothing that could be done, it was the biggest one in the whole shop, in fact it had been got in especially! So I looked a right fool all day, in full morning suit, but minus a waistcoat and of course it has been preserved for the future on the pictures.

Luckily the marriage only lasted 3 months and all the photos were kept by the police, as evidence.

I have to say though, it still didn't stop me from stuffing my face with all the delicious food on offer, or taking home a huge slice of wedding cake.

Like that bushbaby :)
