Caveat: not an original question.
Will an airplane weigh less if half the people on it go to the lavatory and pee?
I agree with you, Cubdriver, in the answer I will give to an employer stupid enough to ask me such stupid questions.
On the old 727, the sink dumped overboard thru a heated drain mast. So, if they peed in the sink, then yes the airplane weight would be less.
