While Milgrom waited at the airport to board his plane, he noticed a computer scale that would give his weight and a fortune.
He dropped a quarter into the slot. The screen displayed: "You weigh 195 pounds, you're married, and you're on your way to San Diego." Milgrom stood there dumbfounded.
Another man put in a quarter. The computer read: "You weigh 184 pounds, you're divorced, and you're on your way to Chicago."
Amazed, Milgrom rushed to the men's room, changed his clothes, and put on dark glasses. He approached the machine again. This time, it read: "You still weigh 195 pounds, you're still married, and you just missed your plane to San Diego!"
