#1 I can’t fit in the plane aisle — it feels like discrimination

#2 Did the airline charge her for the extra baggage?

#3 I once took my mother on a trip to Friday Harbor in Puget Sound. We landed at Sea Tac, then transferred from a large airliner to a very small plane. The pilot weighed both of us and all our baggage. He then spent a fair amount of time distributing the baggage inside the plane to ensure a proper center of gravity.

#5 "Same difference, eh? Kilogram, pound?

Do these jeans make my ass
Look an earth-shaking mass?"
"Bae, I'd say it's the other way round."

#6 The bigger picture, given it was a small Puddle Jumper and having rode them into some small remote sites for assignments.

There is a strict MAX vs. Normal Safe takeoff weight. So every pound must be accounted for, and no vanity applied .

Now look at the size of that Butt.
It likely weights in at 130 by itself.

"That's your shadow; you need to step on the scale, Ma'ams."

#15 Hurt my back just reading that, Skid.

That's two dudes and a bench carry.

This is what happens when we took out the applied physics toys from the playground, such as the teeter-totter; lessons learned by courtesy of pain. Correlation between the Not OK comments and people who haven't been on a row boat is 100%.
