The day I can't lift a 30-40 pound bag up a couple of flights of stairs may be the day I should think about calling it quits. Of course there's a few out there that are carrying said weight around their waist. Maybe they're the ones with the debilitating handicap.
Do you carry the ice chest and the catering up the stairs too? How about the coffee jug? Do you go down to the bottom of the stairs and get the haz paperwork? Do you walk to the jet instead of taking the bus because you're a tough guy? Or maybe it's somebody else's job...like carrying up the bags? Death by a thousand paper cuts my friend.
