Instead of asking more questions, please answer him directly? That

Let's see
Two morbidly obese pilots in a C152.
There are some 300 pound plus people out there


I don't think the C152 requires 2 pilots and we are talking about
standard
pilot weights. Can you think of a correct answer?

Okay 1 400 pounder.
I'd go look up the heaviest person living but he'd not be able to get
into an aeroplane

First of all, I'll bet he wouldn't even be able to fit in a C152. Second of
all, It would be nice if someone would take a serious shot at answering the
question. I answered the OP question a long time ago. We are on a
tangential question now.
"Name an aircraft that will be overweight with a full load of fuel even
with only the required pilot(s) aboard." Please don't take a Bill Clinton
position and ask for a definition for each of the words. You know exactly
what this question is asking.
