Officials will never look exactly the same. Some are taller, some are shorter, some are skinny, some are bigger fat.

Why not just say it?
Because I've worked for big companies so long that I've become sensitized.

Plus, I'm very careful about the word "fat". My wife and I had to teach our 3-year old son (he was 2 at the time) that "fat" was a bad word after he called my somewhat rotund mother-in-law "fat" (he didn't know any better at the time). So now whenever he hears anyone say that word he says, "we don't say fat!"
