An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.

"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds."

When the Irishman returned two weeks later, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60lbs!

"Why, that's amazing!'' the doctor said. ''Did you follow my instructions?''

The Irishman nodded and said, ''I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead on the 3rd day."

"From the hunger, you mean?'' asked the doctor.

"No," replied the Irish. "From the skipping."
