Where the self-important meets the unimportant.
The Daily Fluff
What would happen to the foot long sub if we switched to the metric system? I don't think it could survive the change. No one wants to order a big sandwich in centimeters--you'd have no idea whether you were getting something the size of a small cargo ship or something that could fit the palm of your hand. Not to mention that ordering a sandwich in metric numbers sounds kind of French. And while that is usually a good thing in the world of food, there is a notable exception when dealing with things hoagie-related. I don't want to worry about getting a snotty aside about fat, unsophisticated Americans when I ask for double cheese and extra bacon on my sandwich.
