Wrong thread, should be here: socially-unacceptable-humor
Ummmmm please tell me you know where I can get some of these?!?!
The problem is that most of those tapes either only have the fractions for the first foot or are only 6 feet long.Had a boss from South Africa, I bought him one of these.

The kids today having problems with fractions had more focus on the metric system.
I am in my mid 50s and have trouble with fractions, I was brought up in various foreign countries and had european teachers, fractions give me fits. When I need to devide the length something and dont have a metric tape handy I convert to a decimal and move on.
Every job I've had has been associated with a foreign industry (Mercedes Benz, Swiss instrumentation industry) and everything is metric. I suppose if I had a job as a framer I would be more proficient.

One of my buds and I bought metric tapes once just to fuck with everyone else. Him: "That's 197 point 2!" Me: "197 point 2." Coworker: "What the fuck is point 2?"
Edited to say that we all started fucking around using "regular" tapes and 3/8" became "point 6" and 3/4" became "point 12"...because, you know, we were fraction genii.
Most common with excavation type work. LOTS of surveyors rods are in tenths of feet.I have a 100' tape that is in 10th of a foot not inches..
Luckily I figured it out before I screwed up big time.
Wait a minute.... this tape only goes to 10 inches... WTF
Funny, my 300ft tape is in tenths.…. Is that like a mil reticle with moa turrets?Most common with excavation type work. LOTS of surveyors rods are in tenths of feet.

Yup.Most common with excavation type work. LOTS of surveyors rods are in tenths of feet.
I had a tape that was in 10ths and inches when I worked in the dirt. It would fuck you up if not careful.
Good to know, if I find anything socially unacceptable I will be sure to post it there.Wrong thread, should be here: socially-unacceptable-humor

If you were in the same room I would give you an awkwardly long hug!
Same as what I think about those that post such memes! When someone post a meme making fun of someone else's suffering, I just assume that they are an absolute:
Members are allowed to post the meme and I am allowed to comment, either good or bad - seems fair
Douchewagon, let’s all say together. Dirty D is a complete douchewagon (it’s true). Now don’t you feel better skippy?
Please fill this out in triplicate and report to Lowlight, if he doesn’t respond right away keep reporting until he does, he likes it when members do that.

The basic answer is that they did not build their cities, etc. Their slaves did, Greeks, Macedonians, and middle eastern mathematical geniuses, including Jews (who engineered and built the pyramids). They had the math.Even A&W thinks most of the American people are stupid.
A&W Restaurants
By now you've probably heard the story: once upon a time, A&W Restaurants released a third-pound burger that failed to catch on thanks to a misunderstanding of fractions. Just how accurate is this tale of math mistakes and fraction flubs? Read on for the scoop. In the 1980s, then-owner A. Alfred...awrestaurants.com
PS: Can anyone explain to me how the Romans were able to be great engineers when their math was in Roman numerals. Have you ever tried to multiply or divide in Roman numerals? Let's not even talk about trigonometry!
How bout you bois take your lover's quarrel behind the scenes so guys can get back to posting boobies and things. You can braid each others back hair later in your own thread.
If Freddie mercury didn't die, got fat, and married Elton John
No. You are fine. He meant like this.
Just post in the appropriate thread, I have know doubt that you know full well that some may not like your humour but continue to post in this thread and not the more appropriate thread - why not?
Damn it! My shop cat does this to my air hose all the time.
