It's always the same gag -- the machine protests that the person standing on it is too heavy. You'd be surprised how many variations there are on this simple theme. Here's an example
A husband stepped on one of those penny scales that tell you your fortune and weight, dropped in a coin, and received a card.
"Listen to this," he said to his wife, "It says I'm energetic, bright, resourceful and a great lover."
"Yeah," his wife nodded, "and it has your weight wrong, too."

Well winning this grand scale in our auction would not be wrong. In fact if it "weighs" on your heart you need to bid. In all seriousness this scale is special and sure to demand positive attention where ever it's placed.
