So do Canadians use “stone” for personal weight like the British? I’m sure most Americans don’t even know about that.

1400 pounds. That sounds about right.

Rory didn’t have the guts to say it to his face.

I wonder if Stan is a Taurus…..

Rory knows how to pause for effect.

Three hundred and plenty.

Who wants a skinny steer? And “Skinny Cow” ice cream doesn’t count.

they use be people guessing your weight at the county fairs along with your age or your birth month.

I think we learned stones in school, but I forget all that. Bushels and pecks too. The British have such interesting terms for things.
