THE LAND IS SO BIG. THE CHOICES SO INFINITE. [PAUSE] WHERE SHOULD WE GO, L.A. OR NEW YORK?   Hey, Eddie, I think we can work with this:
The slim, fit-looking president of Botswana -- considered one of Africa's most eligible bachelors -- says he is finally ready to get married but made it clear that overweight women need not apply.

President Ian Khama, 57, has never been married, but at a political party meeting last month he said his top requirement for a future wife is that she needs to be tall, slim and beautiful – in a country known for short, heavy set women....

Khama claims he's been too busy running the country to find a wife, and has dispatched presidential aides to find a suitable mate.

The president's status as a bachelor is of general national concern. Khama, elected in 2009, is not only president, he's also the chief of the Bamangwato people, Botswana's largest ethnic group. Marriage is a requirement of tribal tradition, something that Khama, so far, has defied.
Alright, I'll taste the soup.

    Hmm, what an appealing idea...marrying a man who's too busy to woo you in the first place and will not allow you to gain any weight.  Sign me up!

    I have to admit my mind went first to the Cheech and Chong routine with the Pope.
