Q: Are the Interns pot-bellied from a vitamin deficiency through lack of eating or do they just look that way?

Alf: The Interns lead a sedentary lifestyle. They have gradually developed a body type known as ‘the melted candle’ whereby deposits of supple fatty tissue ooze down around their midsection. This phenomenon is common among those who sit day in and day out in front of a computer terminal, eating and working, working and eating.
