See, this is why it’s important to be specific in these types of situations. Garfield should have clarified for the scale to apologize for calling him fat, but he didn’t. That’s what TVTropes refers to as Ambiguous Syntax.
President Garfield was shot on this day in history. I read the strip last night in a real newspaper that had Garfield The Cat’s age. Of course, no cat has ever lived that long and I think the strip needs to stop telling us his age. Looking at the comments to see if that was mentioned, I found a reference to President Garfield. The commenter was wrong, because Taft was the fat president. Jim Davis was named for his grandfather who was in turn named for the president.

That’s why weighing yourself during dieting, is not a good thing to do, you’ll only feel worse if there’s no improvement.

Similar to a joke used on the Flintstones decades ago
Fred: “How can you be so stupid?”Barney: “Hey, that’s not very nice. Say you’re sorry!”Fred: “I’m sorry you’re stupid.”

I’m trying to remember who first originated this You’re fat/ I demand an apology joke? Rodney Dangerfield or W.C. Fields?

The scale may be sorry, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
