Miles....... not KM's..........

I once bought a cycle computer without doing enough research. Got it home and discovered it only measured distance in KMs. I had to take it back to the shop. Apart from anything else, the metric system is so bloody long winded. I mean- I'm ''one meter, seventy eight centimeters'' tall, (so my passport tells me). That's 11 syllables. What a waste of breath. In English, I'm ''five ten'' -just two syllables!

In music, metric just doesn't work. Titles such as ''I can see for miles and miles'' become ''I can see for kilometers and kilometers''. In the Police track 'Can't stand losing you', the line 'your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten'' becomes 'your brother's gonna kill me and he's 'two meters seven point five centimeters'. The Proclaimers 'I would walk 500 miles' becomes 'I would walk eight hundred and four point six seven kilometers' . Nope, it just don't work.

Also, in the buiding trade, it's a well known fact that more new houses are falling down than ever, because they're now built in meters. This is because there are fewer meters than feet and things become much less stable*. Or something.






*It's quite possible I may have made that bit up.

What needs to be remembered is that a joke, any joke, is always at someones expense...so if you tell a joke, any joke, you're doing it to ridicule someone else.
Does that bother me ?...not one little bit.
They can ridicule me, my mum, anyone...so long as it's not nasty, and i'll continue to enjoy light hearted jokes in the same way.

FFS...if you get so offended by any joke...i hope you dont ever tell jokes yourself, because that smacks of double standards. Someone, somewhere, may be offended. :smile: Lordy noooooo

Relax and enjoy it for what it is....a bit of light hearted fun.
