This nugget comes from the second edition of Shipley Associates' Proposal Guide, in the "Production" section.

Unfortunately, the small aircraft could not take off when they discovered the packaged documents weighed more than 3,000 pounds.

P.S. I'm no longer an Amazon Associate (I live in California) so I can no longer sell this to you, but the third edition of the guide is available on Amazon.
