Dicks are a terrible unit of measurement. If we used dicks as a measuring system everything we build would end up significantly larger than the original blueprint.

Are you implying men are claiming their dicks are smaller than they actually are or that construction workers have bigger ones than architects?

I think it's dicks ability to get errect

That’s just the number of dicks your mom sucked when the house was being built 😎

Seems a bit low. Probably just the last day of construction.

It is per beam, but yeah.

"Yesterday I was sucking dicks for money at that construction site. I made $484.50!" "Who the hell paid you 50 cents for it?" "All of them!"

Try not to suck any dicks while they build the parking lot!

It was cold in the pool!!!

Finally you can use some of that 30 gallon drum of sheep birthing lube in the bedroom.

That's certainly not proper imperial. The number is too big. In imperial you invent a new word if things get too hard to count on your fingers. Something like 6 dicks is 1 fest and 9 fests is 1 celebration.

11 dicks 4 spit roasts 7 orgies

Why are women so bad at parking?
Cause men constantly tell them this is 10 inches.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

I like Roseanne's variation.

Men are better at reading maps because only a man would believe that one inch is 100 miles.

That's 30 metres for the non Americans.
