Lol, this is America. Standard is standard.


No it isn't, this is Japan, either that or a bunch of short people with black hair just moved into my neighbourhood. I believe the term you are looking for is either "Imperial", "Customary" or "marsupialed".

I just looked around me. I see white people eating chicken wings and quaffing Coors Light. One guy is wearing a camo jacket. No one here is under 5' tall.

I've been to Japan, good sir. This is definitely not Japan.

I once had a rat in my apartment, a long long time ago. I got a steel trap, with teeth, that must have wieghed 500 grams. I woke up in the middle of the night when it snapped, and I was sure I'd find a cut in half rat. what I found was a rat runing around my kitchen wearing a trap around its waist. it was pissed off. so I hit it a half dozen times with a broom, no effect. I picked up the trap and rat (with the broomstick), threw them into a bucket and filled the bucket up with water. the damn rat treaded water with the huge trap attached. I had to push him under water. their is nothing as tough
I read this while sitting in a coffee shop with my Mom, I laughed so loud everyone turned and looked at me. Then I read it to my Mom and it was her turn to get the looks lol

Are they tremendously obese? If so I guess you're correct.

Could you cut it out with this stupid shtick already? It's not funny, never was, and it's ******* called Standard in America because it's not the ******* same thing as Imperial you nitwit.

It's ******* called U.S. Customary actually you nitwit. And how about you go stick your head in a bucket of **** twice and only take it out once.

That's funny, because pretty much everyone calls it 'standard' just like everyone calls the SI system 'metric'. And it's not Imperial anyway, so **** off.

How can you trust what's written by a tool company, and a fat American one at that.


Normally I'd agree with you but I've been using Craftsman for 3 decades and they've never let me down. They have a 100% return policy, and they've always honored it with me.

I get no proceeds from Craftsman. I am merely expressing my experience that the company does right by me.

EDIT and I have a client who gets me snap-on tools in lieu of payment all the time. But all things being equal if I had to pay for them I'd choose Craftsman.

Pretty much everyone in Fatsville, Liberia and Myanmar perhaps, and SI is a form of the metric system, so go root your boot.
