I saw that from a kilometer away

If US were to switch from measuring weight in pounds to kilograms it would create a mass confusion.

Drugs have taught more Americans about grams than all of the schools put together.

It’s cause they have a foot fetish

They will go the extra mile to avoid the metric system.

Edit: sorry my bad. Clever joke ?

An Irishman stumbles piss drunk out of the pub in the wee hours of the moonless night and proceeds to try and amble his way home. It’s so dark out, he can’t even see his willy when some time later he stops to release the contents of his bladder to the wild. So he lights a match and to his shock it seems he’s taken a leak on an old, weathered gravestone by the side of the road! The drunkard falls to his knees lamenting his desecration of the grave, and begins to wonder about the life of this poor soul. Lighting another match, he can barely make out some details in the shadows on the old stone. Poor old bastard by the name of Miles made it to the ripe old age of 93, from Dublin! Boy, no wonder he died – From Dublin to here’s got to to be over 150 kilometers… quite a walk fer an ol geezer!

Looks at ruler on desk – “Made in China”

Meter? I never even heard of her.

It’s because we know it is really a communist plot to overthrow the USA.
(I can remember people – famous people – making that claim in the 70s and 80s.)

Heck, we don’t even accept our own leaders…

I saw this from a mile away.

Because pirates stole the kilogram bound for America… truth is funnier than fiction.
-
to be fair, scientists and mathematicians here in America do use the metric system.
-
Because it’s not “deeply rooted in this country’s history and tradition.”
-
We are converting to metric units, at just an inch at a time!
-
Take my upvotes and frick off

Because we’re too busy being backwoods retards. Haven’t you heard ? Going backwards into the dark ages is all the rage here !
-
This is false Americans use rulers made in china

The unit of the foot is literally the length of a dead English King’s foot. The mile is the distance the Roman Legion travelled in 1,000 paces when marchinf. It’s *already* from a foreign ruler…
-
Hey, no fair! We are inching closer to the metric system in this country every year.
-
* – an *openly* foreign ruler, you mean ??
-
Technically speaking we have been on the metric system since 1975, but people just seem to have ignored it lol
-
We already had a Russian ruler
-
But the imperial system is English. Does that mean despite the war of independence, the US still has a British ruler?
