Too much for the elevator

[Hugh R]

So I'm in a hotel in ABQ today. At the elevator there are 8 women, six are huge, like 300 lbs each is my guess. I'm thinking this elevator isn't going to like it. So I don't get on, they close the door and it opens again beeping. They can't figure out what's going on. I get on another elevator. Sure enough it was over loaded.

I hope it was going down....

And you don't think Hugh has a fascinating life.

I just checked 2,500 lbs capacity, so I might have been off a bit on the weight. These were Big women, like 5' 10" and huge.

I do have a fascinating life, that's why I blog here about stuff like this. On the other hand, "The Lone Ranger" is doing well. Hope it does as well as "Avengers" and not "John Carter".

Albuquerque is certainly an interesting place. Good story!

They have special Ambulances now for obese fattys* and these are equipped with electric winches to pull them up inside after they have a heart attack.

You'd think we could just stick a wick in them after they keel over and solve our energy problems right there.

so I don't get on

Insightful decisions like this are why you are such an excellent safety consultant

Obviously I'm misinformed but I always assumed that the entire surface area could be covered in human density and the elevator still would have juice left. Today I found out I was wrong.

i once watched three plus sized women get out of a jacuzzi. it was a good lesson in displacement. if i had a calculator, i could have solved for their collective volume sans head and shoulders.

have you seen how wide a wheelchair is these days? sad. i wish it wasnt like this.

Thanks for posting Hugh

When I was a computer tech at a bank I was just about to say "I can feel an earthquake Guys" but something stopped me. Thank gawd I didn't. It was a big girl called Les' walking over to talk to me. The floor was MOVING. Les' (short for Leslie I think, although she was another sort of les') had a stool to sit on as a chair big and strong enough hadn't been invented yet. I often thought that stool is going to have to be sugically removed one day.

I think avogadro solved this a few millennium ago.

Randy, thank you. That's the funniest thing I've read all week.

Dang, you could have weaseled into the middle, and with a deep voice said "hellooo ladies"

LOL. Hugh knew a safety risk when he saw one.
