Funny By Any Metric

This story reminded me of this. Also, I am the author of “Software is Hard.”

I was participating in a study in the research arm of the same clinic. One of the doctors/researchers was Australian, and when taking a measurement of my head, a tech said the result in centimeters.

Tech: “[Australian Doctor] got us to all use centimeters instead of inches.”

Me: *Jokingly.* “There are only three kinds of people in America who use the metric system: immigrants, scientists, and drug dealers.”

Australian Doctor: *Cheerfully.* “Well, I’m all three!”
