Dialectic

Scene: this morning. My bathroom.

Analog scale: 180.

Me: No! That's great! Really?

Analog: Just kidding. 183.

Me: Are you sure?

Analog: 182 and a half.

Me: Are you really sure?

Analog: 182 and a half.

Digital scale: 186.8.

Me: But you said that yesterday, after lunch when the other scale said I was 186...

Digital scale: 186.8. If you step on me again, I will read 188.2.

Analog scale: 184.

Me: What happened to 180?

Analog scale: 183. Get off me. Get a life.

Me: Sigh.
