The other day when I was at the sheriffs office getting fingerprinted for a pistol license, the woman behind the counter asked for my drivers license.  Since this is a standard form of identification, I handed it over to her.

She then looked at the license and asked me how much I weighed.  Thinking that this was some sort of a check as to the legitimacy of the license, I told her.  She smiled and thanked me.  Then she proceeded to process the information.

Since I have lost over 20 pounds since November, I concluded that the weight on my license might be wrong.  So, I decided to check it.  But, to my surprise, there was no weight listed.

This made me wonder.  Why did she ask for my weight?  Was she just curious?  Was she practicing estimating the weight of people?  Maybe she works at Cedar Point in the summer time at one of those weight guessing concession stands and just wants to stay current.  Who knows?
