There have been quite a few Samoans in the pro wrestling business, and a lot of them are related to each other, like cousins... Umaga, Rikishi, The Rock Dwayne Johnson, etc. But actually, the Rock is only half Samoan and he's built like an NFL LB.

skydiver30960 0 #10 April 5, 2013 QuoteAbout damn time. Should be total weight determines ticket price. I would agree with one addition: you, your carry-ons, and your checked baggage go on the scale. THEN, they just consider your body weight and if you weigh more than a certain amount (275? 300?) you automatically get a second seat assigned to you so that you aren't spilling over the armrest into the seats of the poor souls next to you. AND: boarding order will be set based on the total weight of carry-on baggage you have. If you're going to be hauling an obviously-oversized roller bag, jacket, backpack, purse, and fast food onto the plane with you, then get thee behind me. Let me and my one legal-sized carry-on get settled, and then you can fight it out with all the other arses who were too lazy to check a bag.

Elvisio "wide of shoulder, narrow of ass" Rodriguez HMMM, I like this idea, if you (and the stuff you brought) weigh more than X lb., you get that extra seat, and they charge accordingly. Then the boarding order won't be such a big deal. The problem is trying to get two seats next to each other lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
