How well sized is your spouse then?  I seem to recall seeing a picture
when I met you and not thinking that she particularly stuck out, despite
your voiced preference in women.  You certainly wouldn't be the one who
would get charged as two people.

You may remeber me as a fairly big guy.  A recent flight to LA, I was
seated next to two people who were just as wide as me (one was a hair
shorter, and the other one was a lot shorted).  We all managed to get
through the flight intact, and nobody acted like it was a real
punishment.  And if your spouse is bigger than me, well, then she
definately is a large women.
