This is a personal love letter to Oldpotatoe pal....

old spud, to be honest, I can never understand what do you mean when you say...

"I'm .1 offa ton, 5'11..."

By that, do you mean, you are a whale?

or do you mean...you are an aircraft carrier?

or, what you really meant to say...it's just a bit snug in the middle. :D

I know it's a joke thread, but I'm thinking 2000 * 0.1 = 200lb? Or 1/10th of 2000, right?

I bet Weisan took it as ".1 offa ton" means ".1 off a ton", or "2000-.1=1999.9", not ".1 of a ton". A whale indeed. Now, an aircraft carrier...?

Yup.
.1 times 2000=200....
.1 of a Ton...a tenth of a ton...

Also .65 of a century...:p:)
