alt text: a photo of a piece of lumber supporting a floor, printed on it is "242 DICKS" with the rest of the word obsured behind the the wall beneath it. the caption reads "americans will use anything but the metric system".

Dicks are a terrible unit of measurement. If we used dicks as a measuring system everything we build would end up significantly larger than the original blueprint.

Why are women so bad at parking?
Cause men constantly tell them this is 10 inches.

I like Roseanne's variation.

Men are better at reading maps because only a man would believe that one inch is 100 miles.

That's certainly not proper imperial. The number is too big. In imperial you invent a new word if things get too hard to count on your fingers. Something like 6 dicks is 1 fest and 9 fests is 1 celebration.

That's 30 metres for the non Americans.
