German is perfect. Everyone will agree how to spell Schifffahrkarte the moment they hear it.

I live in New York. 9/11 was like 35 9/11s for us.

Look at this fatcat using a water bottle! You can drink perfectly fine water from the tap. Don't even need a cup if you put your palms together.

I too think having factors of 3 and 4 would be neat, which just proves we should change our number system to base 12, as somebody else in the thread suggested 😊.

That's true! Receipt checks can get lost! I was replying to "They can’t detain you even if they think you have stolen" though. The "can't" is a store policy thing, not a law thing.

The fractions don't help me when I go to the grocery store and unit price of one bag of nuts is "per pound" and the unit price of another is "per ounce". You'd better be good at dividing by 16 in your head if you want to price-compare! And you'd better be good at remembering how many fluid ounces are in a quart when you go to the olive oil aisle (hint: it's not 16).

Shopkeeper's privilege does exist, many stores simply choose not to exercise it.

Warning shots killing the target was also a running gag on Generation Kill (2008) show.

Out of the loop - what is the joke supposed to be? If this is neither a real sequence nor a hidden message. Is it something Krusty Krab says in the show? Is it just funny because it is absurd?
