| Description: | Weight and See! Meet Barney Wirth - a trifle of 42 stone and a bit - (from Sydney, Australia.)". Australia. M/S of a very large man, Barney Wirth, being helped out of the Royal Prince Albert Hospital by two men. A large woman, Floss, comes up the steps to greet him. He apparently went into the hospital for a minor operation. Barney is shoved into a taxi by several people, apparently bursting one of the tires in the effort. He and Floss end up getting on the back of a truck and wave as they are driven off. This is quite 'fattist' and poor Barney is treated like a freak - lots of comments about size and weight. | |
