What’s with those scales we use to weigh ourselves? One day I weighed myself on three different scales; the first one said I weighed 183 pounds, the second said 192, and the third said 177. Hey, c’mon, that’s a range of 15 POUNDS! (For the record, the third scale obviously was the most accurate.) What’s that all about, anyway? Don’t they have any regulations in the scale industry? Shouldn’t they be required to put signs on their products: “Accurate to within 15 pounds”? Where’s the federal Bureau of Standards when you need them to standardize these things? We spend gazillions of dollars each year on diet books and weight-loss plans, but we can’t seem to manufacture accurate scales to find out how much we might have lost? I say what’s the point of dieting if I can lose 15 pounds just by jumping off one set of scales and onto another.
