Too bad winter is coming soon because I was counting on losing 7 cows in a jiffy while regularly mowing my lawn which always seems to be 7 twits too tall.

Wow. Very creative. I’m not sure where you come up with these crazy ideas, but I like them. :)
How about a “Pinch”. I like that measurement. Just a “pinch” of cilantro please…

Hilarious! After taking measure of your writing abilities on your blog this last year, you should consider being a columnist.

You didn’t even give a nod to the ever-popular “stone” measurement. That’s what they use in Scotland for weight. I think a stone is 14 pounds. So rather than 168 cows, you’d be 12 stone. And please remember that you need to get married in a Jiffy before you start having kids. Please.

I would like to add the old southern “far-see” to the list. It’s a measurement of going down the road as far as you can see, and then looking down to the next point as far as you can see, etc. Other than that, I think that your list works! What other french things can we get rid of?

I see you have finally taken up the task of championing the subject that we have discussed for years, but I really think that we should be having a discussion about the relative benefits of inferometric, meridional, or prototype length standards. It goes without saying that none of these standards define length in a vacuum (pun intended!), but the relative efficacy of each method should and will be questioned in this forum.

I’m a fan of the cows measurement. Although, I feel it might have the opposite effect on the mormon community. I mean, who WOULDN’T want to be a 200+ cow woman?
I had to stifle my laughter when I read this. Where do you come up with this stuff?
