Pot belly..... My fashion icon.

It has become a norm to judge how wealthy a man is with the length of his stomach (pot belly). How absurd.
I was at the fuel station one day some where in Lekki, when one muscle car drove in. I was busy admiring the car when an equally large man with a stomach 2 times that of a pregnant woman struggled to come out of the car. Everyone at the station watched with interest and finally this man stumbled out, looked around and arranged himself ( when I mean arrange, he put his leg apart to adjust his... Systematically stretched his had and then drew the shirt downward to cover the mass of protruding stomach. I continued to watch eagerly as several station attendants struggled to attend to this customer.
He finally said in his deep voice "I am here for wheel balancing and alignment" then I stopped watching and started thinking.
What is it with ladies and pregnant men seriously, I have heard them say how cool their pregnant men looked in a club when they danced, but when I tried to imagine it, it was an amazingly disgusting thought and I had to stop thinking immediately.  I have also seen beau ladies walking down the the street with their handsomely pregnant man, old enough to be my father if not theirs and I have often wondered what the glue is between this people. My conclusion will be that whatever it is will definetly be some super glue.
I was jolted to reality by the  fuel attendants discussing, one said "na wa oooo see belle" the other concurred and said " na only that car go fit am na, e no fit enter this madam car"  at that point I looked up and they both laughed. I smiled, payed for my fuel and drove off.
Now tell me, is a pregnant man sorry pot bellied man now a fashion statement because me I wan know ooooo.
