The Belly-Hierarchy


If you ever travel to Portugal, please beware of this and never get it wrong: there evidently is a strangely visible correlation between the social status of the tummy owner and the height of his tummy.

1) The "low slung" tummy may belong to the taxi driver, the tasca waiter, the newspaper kiosk attendant, etc.

2) The "large balloon up the jumper" tummy can belong to the town councillor, the trade unionist, the builder, the shopkeeper, etc.

3) The "is he holding his breath?" tummy belongs to the extremely rich and/or powerful man. He may be a banker, a lawyer, a statesman, his high-held tummy saying "get out of my way, pipsqueak, I give the orders around here!"
