I prefer to measure speed in football fields per minute.
As an american, It's easier when you convert football fields to watermelons and seconds to no healthcare. One you start thinking in terms of watermelons per crippling medical debt, everything clicks. You're welcome.
Is this a joke about black people not being able to afford healthcare or something?
No... Not at all but what gave you that idea? Besides, everyone here enjoys medical debt or an undiagnosed ailment. Sometimes both if you're lucky.
Watermelon is why. But, dammit, everyone loves watermelon.
You make dem der figures FPH n' you got a deal. I don't wanna be going no 600 yards a minute. I wanna be cruisin at 35000 yard and hour, ya hur?
A mile is about 15 football fields, so if we did switch to using that measurement, we could all be going 1,000 on the freeway.
Ur gotdang right. My Mopar might be a four banger, but with cheezus behind the wheel we're gon' near 1700 n' gettin 500 a gallon.
Hmmm yeah.. I know some of those words.
