Ah, but that *has* an answer. A pound of gold is 373.24 grams, while a pound of feathers is 453.59 grams, so the feathers weigh more.Quoth wolfie View PostMy understanding is that the old question was "Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?"
However, an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers, so the Troy's do avoir.

I'm so annoying guys, but I don't really like this one. I mean, I've been looking at the menu of a drive through before and for some reason couldn't seem to find the item I want. I know it's there, but I don't see it right away and don't want to hold up the line, so I ask. That means I get made fun of? Sorry, I know it makes for a funny story, but eh.

I wish I'd thought of this...

It almost reminds me of the people who would come to the King of Burgers and say, "How much are your 99 cent <burgers>?" or "I want your 99 cent <burger>."

I'm actually on the customer's side on this one. Who is the clerk to judge how someone else likes their coffee? It's like the old joke, I like my cream and sugar with a little coffee.
