He has still had to buy metric tools.<br /><br />Worked with a guy 25 years ago that told me a funny story about metric tools. He said before he had been a slot machine mechanic at a casino and they got in some new machines from Europe. He was complaining to one of his co-workers that he had been all over town and nowhere could he find any metric screwdrivers to work on the new machines. The co-worker actually went to the supervisor and demanded that the casino buy metric screwdrivers for the mechanics.<br /><br />As for logic & tradition, nothing has been logical in this country since day one. Just look at Congress and you'll get my drift.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-11499414969972306232009-10-28T12:57:08.664-04:002009-10-28T12:57:08.664-04:00Very funny post. :P

I was in grade 2 or 3.<br />I had no concept of anything else so metric was easy to learn.<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.com
