Metric Cliches


Some believe that the world converting to the metric system would
greatly simplify our measures. But look what would really happen to
our old cliches...

* A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometers.
* Put your best 0.3 of a meter forward.
* Spare the 5.03 meters and spoil the child.
* Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure.
* Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers.
* Peter Piper picked 8.8 liters of pickled peppers.

Obviously there will be more on this important issue still to come!
