Obviously most Americans don't seem to have the mental capacity to realize how much simpler the metric system is. They still fiddle around with fractions and pounds and what ever else the twisted Brits could come up with. Wasn't it President Carter who tried to change this?

A guy came to take measurements. I heard him mumble things like "48 strong... 72 low... I'm still amazed that the countertop actually fit!
