This reminds me of a joke I heard in New Zealand: A bank officer recently heard the following explanation for a farmer's financial trouble: It all started back in 1966 when they changed from pounds to dollars. My bloody overdraft doubled. Then they brought in kilograms instead of pounds, my bloody wool clip dropped by half. Then they changed rain to millimetres and we haven't had an inch of rain since. They bring in celsius and it never gets over 40 degrees. No wonder my bloody wheat won't grow. Then they change acres to hectares and I end up with half the bloody land I had. By this time I'd had it and decided to sell out. I just get the place in the agent's hands when they changed from miles to kilometres. Now I'm too bloody far out of town for anyone to buy the bloody place.
