Anecdote from the region Adjara
W mieście Batumi, niedaleko plaży, podchodzi młoda turystka do stojącej wagii elektronicznej. Wrzuca monetę do automatu i czeka na wskaznik kilogramów. Niezadowolona wynikiem rozbiera koszulkę, poczym wchodzi ponownie na wagę. Drugi wynik też nie odpowiada jej oczekiwaniom. Wrzuca kolejną monetę, ale uprzednio sciąga spódniczkę, ale i bez niej pokazana ilość kilogramów jest dla niej niesatysfakcjonująca. Z powodu braku kolejnych monet, kobieta oddala się od wagi. Wkrótce podchodzi do niej mieszkaniec miasta i mówi: Proszę rozbierać się dalej, ja płacę.
