Here's a story for you.

I can't sleep (I'm gonna be doing some major jetlagging), so here's a story for you...

.

My rule of thumb when it comes to weighing luggage is, "If I can lift it, it isn't overweight". By the way, the cut off point, according to United Airlines, overweight is 23 kg or 50 pounds. So, this time around, when I packed my suitcase, I did the Lift Test and it passed easily.

.

But because (once in a while) I'm not a scatterbrain, I weighed it on my friend's questionable scale and it was 5 pounds overweight. But I kinda liked the scale bcoz it made ME 5 pounds underweight...but that's another story.

.

Anyways, I did some repacking and got it down to 50 pounds and left it at that.

.

You see where this is heading? Yeah, it ended up 1.5 pounds overweight, but the (God bless her) flight attendant didn't even bat an eye.

.

Moral of the story, don't take weight training classes. And FYI, I don't look like arnie swatzewhatshisface.
