Apologies to All...In Advance

Apologies for this post.  Apologies to you, dear reader, who might find it in poor taste and apologies to the woman who wrote me asking for my advice, in case she feels I embarrassed her.   I'm often asked for advice; I usually respond off-line, but sometimes I post about it.  (See Life's Too Short and Short Stint As An Advice Columnist).  I'm not a professional in this regard, I'm just a woman with an opinion.  This time, though, I was stumped.  Not so much about what to do in the immediate situation, but more about the subtext.  


So, here's what I'm going to do.  Below is the letter.  I'm asking you guys to answer it:

"I'm sitting at a bar by myself and I just ordered a cocktail after a hectic week.   I'm shocked this was my first one in a few days.  That's so unlike me.  That just shows how busy I've been.  I do not mind sitting alone but two really fat women just sat next to me.  Is it wrong if I move?  I'm hoping some cute boy might come along and buy me a drink. That's less likely to happen with [these big women*] sitting next to me." (*I re-worded a disparaging term for something more neutral].


What would you have said, if you received this note?  I'm dying to "hear".
