The Man who carried water filled weights

Often you'll do something the hard way when there's an easier way. Hopefully it won't be so daft that you'll be remembered for the incident, like this certain person who we'll leave un-named cos its pretty embarrassing.

The person in this tale of stupidity isn't stupid, but for this occasion stupidity was involved without question. Check out the facts..........

You've all bought something and sometimes had to sell something, this person was selling a set of weights, a plastic set which you fill with water. All you get is a bar plus a set of plastic weights which are various sizes. Fill em with water and they are pretty heavy.

The person here wanted to get rid of the weights and bar, you all know a bloke who's had a sudden urge to take up the weights and then a few months later realizes the folly of exercise. This bloke decided to sell them. Probably to spend the money on the much less healthy pursuit of drinking beer. Unfortunately he just put the weights filled with water into a hold all bag and staggered to the bus stop to go into town.

Its difficult to remember the lads description of how heavy the weights filled with water actually were, I think he described them as "heavy as fu**" when we all questioned him over the adventure.

Apparently he got into Town, dripping with sweat and looking absolutely shattered. He staggered along to a second hand shop, and the bloke there actually pointed out that all he had to do was unscrew the caps on the weights and let the water out. I think the reply was "Fu**ing hell!" Anyway, you may as well learn by another's mistakes, and if you should ever find yourself with a set of plastic weights filled with water, and you need to carry them any distance. You're best to let the water out.
