Nah, I don’t want to see you in a short skirt!
Who would?
Though my right leg would challenge anyone.
I have two metric yardsticks, which is to say they are sticks one meter long. One of them is calibrated in both inches and centimeters, the other is only in centimeters. Since I live and measure exclusively in the U.S., I have found no use for the centimeter stick in all the years I’ve had it.
I dunno. If you ever decide to be a doula as a side hustle, it could come in handy.
Those are properly known as “meter sticks” because, well, they are a meter long.
Although I don’t have one right now, for years I had a “yard stick” that was English measure on one side and metric (centimetres) on the other, a full metre long. (39 + inches)
We had a double yardstick. Was 36 inches on one side, 91 and a bit centimeters on the other.
My dad used to work at a yardstick factory, but he got laid off when he couldn’t make them any longer.
Some people just can’t go the distance.
I hear the candle factory is hiring, though he’d have to work on wickends.
I have seen “fisherman’s yardsticks” that are shorter than standard, but the scale of inches is shrunk down to let the angler exaggerate the size of his catch in photos. If you go to urbandictionary.com you can find my entry for Fisherman’s Dozen. Unlike the baker’s dozen, it’s smaller than 12.
