Funny. But...Shouldn't it be Kilometers Davis?

[Highlander]

I don't know... you give them an inch...

[Pilgrim]

I don't know... you give them an inch...

...and they'll take 25.4 MM.

[Highlander]

That much...! (I did warn you...)

How many countries using the metric system have put a man on the moon? 

[Highlander]

Have you ever considered running for President...?

How many countries using the metric system have put a man on the moon? 

None. Nor have countries using the Imperial System for that matter.  There was no moon landing so far. 

But the first one will be metric of course.

Actually they'll take 1.6 km.

Have you ever considered running for President...?

This year, Dave wouldn't have any real competition. With Gwyneth as Vice President.

[Highlander]

... With Miss Paltrow as his one vice...? He might be able to pressure Congress into insisting that the Continental V going into immediate production too...

Good idea! On their first visits in office, Presidents always bring presents to foreign countries. And an American Buffalo herd would be a piece of work in the long term.

Gwyneth's presents would be to offer vaginal steamings or colon cleanses for everyone.
