Reply #30: Try this on for size.

A friend of mine, about five years ago, invited this girl we know to a party. At one point, a bunch of people were stepping on my friends scale and weighing ourselves (good times). The girl wanted us to wait until she finished eating her donut before she weighed herself because, and I quote, "We won't get an accurate reading if I'm holding this donut".

We tried to explain that eating the donut, or holding the donut, wouldn't make a difference because it weighs the same inside you as it does outside. She didn't get it.

Nevermind that the weight of the donut was negligible anyways.

There are idiots walking among us folks.
