Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.

Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren’t they?

    A “five by ten” I would say, doesnt sound to bad.

    I think its mostly ingrained into the population at this point.

      You forgot that a 2 by four isn’t actually two by four inches .

      It is actually 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The 2 by 4 references the rough cut lumber before planning.
