I assume you weight 70-200 pounds. You are worth less then $320 if you are 200 pounds.

i thought they use the metric system there. so, technically they weight themselves in kilograms, i guess. it was close try though.

In Canada too! Well we use pounds for weight, unless we are at the doctors or something, and dollars for money. But the average Canadian knows pounds can = money

Because he's changing "worth your weight in money" to "worth your weight in pounds" which to the uneducated person would seem like "worth your weight in weight" when in reality in means the same thing as the first one.

oh... But pounds is not a lot... I'd be worth $226 so I guess I'd have to say no to this post.

Actually the original saying is "worth your weight in gold," but the play on words in this post still applies.
