But since you want to rant about the Metric system.

Wine by the liter is more and it's neater,
It's here and simply that's all there is to it.

But measure in Metric in lieu of obstetric
is absurd and I simply won't do it.

I can't use meters when comparing peters,
In fact I'm a bit of a runt there.

I'm shorter, but just by a **** hair.

Old school needs to get with the modern times.

On Oct. 1,1976 the liquor industry officially went metric. As a result,
all whisky, vodka and other distilled spirits sold in the United States
may now be legally offered in metric-sized bottles.

Instead of the confusing array of 38 different sizes and shapes now
sold, liquor will be bottled in six standard sizes. For example, a fifth
which is 25.6 fluid ounces, will he replaced by a slightly smaller 750
milliliter bottle, equivalent to 25.4 ounces. The old quart, or 32-ounce
bottle, wit he marketed as a liter holding 33.8 fluid ounces.

Many of the so called US cars are not made in the US where lots of
Toyotas and maybe Hondas are.
