Since a friend of mine is rather overweight, whenever she flies, she requests a seat belt extender from the flight attendant.

On a recent trip, she was removing the belt when she noticed it had a small brass plate etched with a statement that the belt was in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Standard Order specifying the construction of such extenders.

However, what she saw at the time was the engraved message: "Conforms to FAATSO."
