Not sure what country you are talking about, but in the U.S. it is 
perfectly legal to deny someone a job because of their sexual 
orientation (real or perceived) in all but about a dozen states.  

And, of course you are right that job discrimination against fat 
people is both legal and common.

Good thing Dudley can pretty much count on inheriting Grunnings drill 
company, that is if Vernon owns it.  Does it say anywhere if it is a 
family business or if Vernon is just an employee?
