Sure you could. To be fat like that takes a lot of eating and a lot of laziness, all he has to do it stop eating so much and be less sedentary.

Source: I lost 120 pounds in 12 months by not eating fast food and going to the gym a few times per week.

The fatter you are the faster you lose weight just by not being a fast food hulking couch loaf.

Perhaps the concern is that it could be interpreted as Gus is the person having the abortion?

I'm in the 'this apostrophe is correct' camp though.

Well, shit.
I think the trailing S after an apostrophe on a name ending in S varies by country. British English I'm pretty sure would just write Gus' (see also James', Chris', etc)

Either that or someone taught me the wrong way and I've been doing it wrong all these years.

The double S is only used in instances of plurals ending in S, such as "there were several James's".

So, in this instance it would only be correct if there were multiple Gus (Geese?) running the company.

This is correct, Gus' is correct. Gus's is an abomination unto man and the Lord.

I disagree but, for lack of a more authoritative source, have this internet link:
http://data.grammarbook.com/blog/apostrophes/apostrophes-with-words-ending-in-s/

And if you don't click it I'll bring it to you: Surprise - we can do it a number of ways, everyone is right enough and just be consistent in your method.

However - as the original comment that started this derail was the alleged 'abuse' of an apostrophe and no-one here is saying that the apostrophe shouldn't be there (as opposed to it's position or what follows or doesn't follow it)... I guess we could just move on...

But well done IslamoNazi on firing up the grammar nazi debate.

What if you wanted to talk about something the multiple Gus's owned. Gus's'?

What if Gus' Abortion & Barbeque decides to rebrand its self to a simpler and snappier Gus' and then franchises so there's more than one, how would you refer to them collectively? What if several of those franchises pool their resources and buy a wharehouse, whose wharehouse is that?

I work at a place that they have a break room that's stocked with random snacks. One of them being single servings of these things. Yesterday I went looking for some and we were out, and I made a comment about it to a co-worker.

He went to the grocery store last night and apparently they had them on sale 10 bags for $10. He brought a box of them in today and I couldn't exactly explain to him why I was laughing.
