"How many kids do you have?"
"Four-fourths."
"What is wrong with you?!"

My point is that if something is a mile away, you say a mile. If it is a kilometer away, you say a kilometer. If something is a meter long, why would you call it 10 decimeters or 0.1 decameters? (Or 100 cm or 0.001 km?)

Years ago a beautiful young lady told me that I was funny when I was not trying to be.

I lie awake at night hoping that she is happy.
