Seen on a magazine cover in the grocery store checkout yesterday (I think it was the Oprah magazine):

"How not to look fat in a swimsuit"

What, you mean there's a correct way to look fat in a swimsuit and we've all been doing it wrong all these years? (I'm pretty sure they meant "How to not look fat in a swimsuit"... or better yet, "How to look slim in a swimsuit".)
