Meter, shmeter! Do you really believe the unabashedly metrically-biased opinion of an organization that even has “metric” in its name and its logo is an “m”? I say it’s obviously an anti-imperial units conspiracy and I’ll have none of it! Harrumph!
The Moon landings
Contrary to urban myth, NASA did use the metric system for the Apollo Moon landings. SI units were used for arguably the most critical part of the missions – the calculations that were carrie…ukma.org.uk
(If you’ll excuse me, I have to go feed the parking meter.)

The first ever blind Barbie? You mean all the previous ones can see? Wow! If only they could talk, I’ll bet they’d have some stories to tell.

How do you know they didn't speak. Probably a ultra mind conspiracy to brain wash the children without adults knowing. Why do you think so many adults still collect them?
So one day, I gynecologist got bored with his job. But he realized that he had spent many years training with his hands, and he decided he would switch to careers to something else that he could use his hands with. Not wanting the stress of being a medical professional, he decided to attend vocational school to learn to be an automotive mechanic. He worked really hard and studied day and night. When the results of his final exam came in, he was quite perplexed. It showed that he got 150% on the test. The doctor figured this had to be a mistake so he called his instructor at the vocational school.
Doc: there must be some mistake. It says I got a 150% on the final exam. Could you explain that?
Instructor: well, for the first part of the test you took apart the cars engine perfectly. That counted for 50 points of your test. Then you went and put the engine back together perfectly. That was another 50 points. But those last 50 points? Well that's because none of us have ever seen anyone do it through the muffler before.

My dad did rivet calculations on the V, I can't ask him anymore either.
My uncle is 85 and still driving and outliving wives. He gifted my son a reduced drawing section of this project that probably should not have left the office.It was so hot in Texas when I was a kid that popcorn sometimes popped inside the husk on the stalk.
