An inspector for the buss company comes on his buss and tells him he is getting to fat, an may not be able to continue driving a bus. He comes home and talks with Ed about it and between the two of them, after looking up the rules, they decide he's still under weight for his height. So, now that he reassured his weight won't be a problem he goes to a banquet that his lodge is putting on. At the lodge meeting he's in rare form and eats more then anyone at the meeting. And while at the meeting he finds out he's not as tall as he thought. It becomes obvious he has to go on a diet for the physical at the end of the week. By the end of week things are looking good, but Alice makes the mistake of letting a neighbor hide food for a birthday party at her house. Ralph is supposed to be at the gym until late that night.
