I don't look obese at all, and have no prior history of heart-related problems, so they don't waste the effort. (As for people with heart problems, it's usual for them to have an instrument and use it daily.) My blood pressure is taken during regular medical checks for my company every couple of years. When younger, the draft examination bodies of the military would also take it (and they would get quite annoyed when I invalidated the results). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
