Broken Scale
There was a nice bathroom scale in our ship's cabin on our
Recent cruise. Since the sign in front of the fitness centre
Claimed that the average cruiser gained 7 to 10 kilos
During a cruise, I figured the scale was a way to help the
Cruiser avoid the weight gain.
I stepped on the scale.
It was 10 kilos too low.
I asked my wife to try it. She said that it was registering
About 10 kilos too low.
The thing was broken.
The ship had excellent service and I was super impressed
With the cabin steward. I didn't mention it to him, but he
Must have known that our scale was out of whack and not
Measuring correctly. When I stepped on the scale on the last
Day of the cruise my weight was reading perfectly.
Excellent cruise service!Androgens Order

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

Obviously the Steward knew you were standing on the scales on the fall of the ship riding the waves and stepping off before it rose again

Everyone knows if you weigh yourself in water you get your specific gravity which is different from your mass. That explains it (I think).
