Drawing of a character wearing a US-shirt and the Linguist. There are tools and wooden panels laying around. The character with the US-shirt says "To convert from miles to feet you just have to remember "5 tomatoes". It sounds like 5, 2, 8, 0, and there are 5280 feet in one mile. Cool, huh?". The Linguist says "To convert from kilometers to meters you just have to remember "1000" because our system wasn't invented by a drunken lobster". Watermark: Linguist Gone Foreign

This is what happens every time my partner and I plan a road trip, build furniture, shop for beverages and basically perform any activity that involves measurements.
