What about other things besides shit?
Eagles per gun
If it's big, I've seen them use refrigerators, washing machines and football fields as units of measure.
Anything to avoid the metric system.
"Wait, it's all shit?"
"Always has been"
Can't speak for americans but in the UK it is customary to measure things in number of bananas and count things in tins of baked beans. Dont get me started on fractions.
Silly Brits. Bananas are only for scale!
13/16" is the dumbest fraction I have to use on a regular basis. I'd love to hear a good fraction rant!
Time is measured in eagle caws (eagle shrieks?).
The sound many attach to eagles because of Hollywood is by the way not from an eagle, but from a red-tailed hawk. Video here.
