A farmer goes into a store to buy chicken wire.....
Farmer: I'd like 10 yards of chicken wire.
Clerk: Haven't you heard? We've gone metric. We sell things by the meter now, not the yard.
Farmer: (Thinks about it) OK, I'd like 10 meters of chicken wire.
Clerk: Right. Is that with the half-inch or quarter-inch holes?
