It's like with ladders, they rate a ladder for say 250 pounds, when it will really hold 3 times that. Well, commercial interests measure average universal ass wdth at 19.2 inches. When those of us in the real world know that you need at least half again that much room, just to be comfortable. I mean, c'mon, forget ass width, what about personal comfort zone width ? They should change those diamonds to at least 28 inches. -------------------- The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. ~Samuel Johnson Post Extras:       Mistah_T Reged: May 19 2002 Posts: 135 Loc: Elmira, NY Re: I can't believe nobody has asked yet!!

I think my ass is actually going the other way...would explain why my tool belt won't stay up anymore....... There have been times when I actually lost my ass.......
