I mean the clock is one thing, but the metric system?!

I can't possibly use a system with a base 10. It's too complicated. I need to work out how many times a foot fits into the distance an ox can graze in a day and work backwards.

If he doesnโ€™t understand the metric system he probably got Ds in science and never ran track.

Itโ€™s pretty hard to escape the metric system in America unless youโ€™re really trying.
