Jokes on Weight:

1. Why was the scale so smart? It could weigh its options!

2. Why do astronauts avoid talking about weight? Because it's a light topic in space!

Explanation:  In space, due to microgravity, objects (including astronauts) are weightless or 'lighter' than on Earth. This plays on the double meaning of "light".

3. Why was the weight scale so good at its job? Because it never lost its balance!
