Sixteen Tons

An early morning delivery of drinking water at a college campus. I asked the man handling the delivery about the weight of his cart when he was straining to push it up a driveway. His answer was "14 times 60." The cart was loaded 5, 4, 3 and 2 bottles so each delivery load is 14 x 60 = 840 lbs. I am sure his day job is to empty at least 1 truck if not more, including lifting each bottle to about 4 ft heights at the water cooler stations. A back breaking job!
