What’s That In Wingspans Of An American Bald Eagle?
I’m taking some tourists, mostly Americans, on a boat tour around some scenic tropical spots around the area.
Me: “Okay, so this is where you can find some great snorkelling. I’d advise you not to go too far from the boat, but if some of you are a bit more adventurous, there’s a grotto right there—” *Points* “—where you can swim into. It’s named Thunderball Grotto because they filmed a James Bond movie there.”
Tourist: “How far away is that?”
Me: “It’s about thirty meters.”
Tourist: “…How far away is that?”
He’s not even looking.
Tourist’s Son: “It’s about six or seven John Deere tractors.”
Tourist: “Ah, good. I can swim that.”
They get out and swim towards the grotto, having proven once again that Americans will measure anything using literally anything except the metric system.
