Robert,
That reminds of my weekend at work
We run these guessing games at Knotts that use a 300lb Capacity counter weight scale, the ones you would weigh bales of cotton on....well you know what happened. Some poor person who was well over 300lbs stood on it and broke a precision piece of strapping that pulls on the counter weights and broke the scale big time. I feel bad for the person, of course the scale was broke for the weekend and still is.
