Wonky Scale...

A farmer badly in need of money has decided to sell walnuts. He has a brick that weighs exactly 1 kilogram and a wonky lever balance: the distances are different. A customer comes and asks for 2 kg of walnuts.

The farmer thinks that if he puts the the weight in the left pan and measures out walnuts to balance it out, then switches the walnuts and the weight, and adds the two amounts of walnuts, he'll have the two kilograms.
Is he right?

If not, then how is it possible to measure the two kilograms?

A couple logical mix ups...

A Belgian* has two glasses on his bedside table: one, full of water, in case he wakes up and wants a drink, and one empty, in case he wakes up and doesn't want a drink.

Two Norwegians* are driving. They are about to go under a bridge. Maximum height: 2.5m. 

First Norwegian: How tall is this truck?

Second Norwegian: 2.6m

First Norwegian: Quick, see any cops?

On a bus, a passenger speaks up.

"Driver, will this bus take me to Badwolf station?"

"No, it only goes til Raxacoricofallapatorius."

Silence follows. In a few seconds:

"Will it take me?"

*Sorry if any of the race-references made you feel bad. If it makes you feel any better, change them to Frenchman and Englishman. Or Marsian and Venusian. If that makes you feel bad, then I can only say that you are an American.
