English Original
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!"

米尔格鲁姆在机场候机时，注意到一台能称体重并算命的电脑秤。
他投了一枚25美分硬币。屏幕上显示：“你体重195磅，已婚，正前往圣迭戈。”米尔格鲁姆目瞪口呆地站在那里。
另一名男子也投了硬币。电脑显示：“你体重184磅，已离婚，正前往芝加哥。”
米尔格鲁姆十分惊讶。他冲进洗手间，换了衣服，戴上墨镜，再次走向那台机器。这次，屏幕上显示：“你的体重仍是195磅，你依然已婚，而且你刚刚错过了飞往圣迭戈的航班！”
