    Yeah, on second thought, that metric system would be a deal breaker... Can you imagine having to count your change in millimeters? :hair:

    Bobby, instead of police officer. Man, it's already too confusing.
    I mean, what if his name isn't Bob?
    Crumpets, instead of biscuits. See what I mean? They're using the same alphabet, but the words are all different.:rofl: :lol:

    All true except the foot part, the form of measure if I remember predates that inbred as well.

    Using the foot as a unit of measure is as old as civilization. Egyptian cubits were based on the length of the arm.

    Where it gets complicated is when you need to standardize. The international foot,, is actually measured in meters.. :faint:

    Meters are what we used to have to put money in for parking. That's close enough for me. Now I'll try to inch my way out of this one.

    Then there are the meters that measure feet.

    Gas and water , cubic feet or foot if you only use 1.

    Darn this means I got to put away the semi-auto and dust off the musket. Us folks in New England already went through this over 200 years ago. Weren't the rest of you folks paying attention? We don't want to have to do this again.:loco: :crazy::rofl: :lol:
