Why, Lisa Turtle, Why?

So this morning, as I am getting ready, I am watching Saved By the Bell, as I wont to do. It was the “Teen Line” episode where the gang decides to set up a teen line to help, you know, fellow teens with stuff and junk.
One of the first calls Lisa Turtle gets is from a girl who says she is feeling “fat”. Lisa’s advice? You’re probably just bloated. “How much exactly do you weigh?” “Oh!” (laughter and giggle from the audience, because in case you didn’t realize it, fat people are funny!!!) and then Ms. Turtle, as a licensed therapist fashion icon gives her some information on Overeaters’ Anonymous.
Thank you, Saved By the Bell! Not only did you bring Screech and Jessie Spano into my life, but you’ve just taught me a valuable lesson:
Don’t call the Teen Line!
