Prob an urban legend, but back then, the Federal Dept. of Switching Over To Metric would hold a press conference a few times a year.
Govt. Employee " Okay, that sums up our conference for now. Any questions?"
Smart-Azz Reporter "Yeah, how tall are you in centimeters?"
And that was the end of those conferences.
