As another long time married guy, this is treading on very thin, very dangerous ice.

A sampling of my basic rules for dealing with women I've shared with my son:
1-A woman weighs what she says she does. Same with shoe and dress sizes. Just let it go. 2-No woman is ever pregnant until she says so or if you see a baby that needs to be caught. And never EVER assume twins.

Sounds like women are just as touchy with their weight as men are with their height!

They always ask you, "is this weight still correct" and then read the weight on your previous license. I always just say yep to make it go faster.
Normally i've gained a few pounds. first time I said yep I was only an extra 10lbs, second time I said yep I was maybe 25lbs over... this time though I've lost some weight so Im only 10lbs over again! Just waiting for that time when Im UNDER the weight and I can say, "NOPE, im now this!" and have a new unreachable goal to maintain for another 4 years.
The big thing for me though is that I used to be 6'4. now im 6'3. I dont even know how to start that conversation with the DMV. Losing an inch is not a conversation you want to have with a woman across a counter!

I am always walking on that thin ice since when I fly two couples and stuff. I have to do a weight and balance with the airplane if I already have full fuel. I know everybody gives low weight and forgets the amount of weight of other things as they stand there. So I always factor in a little bit. I’d rather factor in a bit rather than say “c’mon, you surely weigh ...”. Luckily I have only had to drain fuel once.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I have a feeling some women...even knowing their life may be at stake...will still not give their proper weight!

Only height is on my driver licence.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Naw Jim, we know that people lie about their weight just like Michigan does.
