No April Fool's Joke: Samoa Air Charges Passengers By Weight
OK, we've checked the date, and it's April 2, but this story from the Pacific island nation of Samoa left us scratching our heads: Samoa Air says it's charging passengers based on what they weigh.

If you are traveling with your family and are over weight, you'll send the children a lean nanny and maybe your light weight spouse with Samoa Air and travel yourself by other means. On the other hand, if you all are over weight, it's a good news because then you don't fly and will avoid the TSA groping you and your spouse and molesting the children.
