I never understood the use of yards for exits over there, but the hardest part was figuring out what my GP meant when he said I needed to lose a couple ‘stones’… C’mon, you can’t expect me to learn imperial, metric, and whatever the hell that is.
I’m already stuck having to be able to convert between elephants and F-250’s because my homeland REFUSES the metric system, now I have to study geology just to figure out how unhealthy I am (actually was, I’ve lost 40lbs since then).
Stones are imperial. There are 14 pounds in a stone. Obviously it’s the right unit for people’s weight because who wouldn’t want to share the weight of a human equally seven ways, eh?

I think he might’ve been talking about an orchiectomy.

“I’m trying to lose 2 and a half stone” just sounds utterly deranged.
My kidney stones are imperial too.
Hefty. That’s gonna hurt.
