The cost would be insane because nearly every road sign would have to be converted.

Just don't go to war with some Asian country for a month or so, that should do the trick.


But we're Am'rica, we need our patriatism.  There aint no patriatism in repaintin' signs!

What if I told you that the imperial system is an invention of terrorists? Securing your homeland surely takes priority over invading other countries, right?

But Nazi's use that metric system, that's not American at all!

Cause Americans then wouldn't know what a Quarter Pounder is anymore... Quarter Pounder >>> Metric system

That's a nice onehundredtwenty-five gram burger you have there.

I thought the American pound is something like 0.4536 kilogram, isn't it?

I was rounding up.
