Yes, that's a good funny .

America went over to the metric system long ago, I no longer work on new cars but I *think* they dropped it after a few years, for a long time there were "METRIC" decals or embossings on units (trannies and so on) to warn the hapless Mechanic .

I prefer the Metric system but grew up with the inch and am happy with that too .

As long as we all can laugh about it, it's good .

I have Russian Motocycles that are Metric but wow, the quality control is all over the map .

I toured an ex Russian submarine once, it was scary ~ the welds looked so crappy I'd be afraid to go across a lake in it .

It had windows in the conning tower too, how odd .
