    My fiancée teared up about something romantic I did today and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to see what SG her tears were. So I grabbed a zip tie and caught a tear.

    I didn't know a human tear ranged around 1.020-SG

    That awesome! I love it!
    It does seem very high.

    I may have to keep my refractometer handy when I propose to the lady so I can snag a Tear-of-Joy! :cry:

    Maybe a happy tear is different than a sad tear. ;)

    Nope, she's cool like that. That's the exact reason why she's got a ring on that finger. :)
