Outside every thin woman there's a fat man begging to get in

I'm interested to know where (if you can remember) you heard that one. For the record, Seán Ó Ríordáin claimed it as one of his own. He also claimed the response to "How are you?":
"Like a page of the census: broken down by age, sex and religion."

Hmmm. I heard it from a friend who a) claimed it as his own and b) is unlikely to be au fait with contemporary Irish letters.
Morphic Resonance, maybe?
This was the same person who came out with the glorious phrase: 'She's a woman of crepuscular pulchritude'.
And I must tell you some other time about when he and his wife appeared on Kilroy, talking about 'Sex and Sexual Satisfaction'. Their deadpan wit was utterly beyond the orange-skinned reactionary.

http://www.well.com/user/argv/funny/men-n-women attributes "outside every thin oman there's a thin man waiting to get in" to Katherine Whitehorn (so do others). It's so obvious (once you've heard it anyway) that it's not impossible for many people to have come upon it independently.
Crepuscular pulchritude: who would claim *credit* for something like that? Mind you it gets no google hits.

Sorry, nust correct that quote. K Whitehorn is credited with "Outside every thin woman is a fat man waiting to get in."
