Tangent: reminds me of one time flying a foreign carrier in another country, and in the jet bridge they had some bathroom scales for everyone step up on with bags. They obviously were tallying weights, but I don't know why they weren't using an average, as they apparently did on all the other flights I've had with that carrier.
