Bob | Okay, good day, I'm Bob McKenzie, this is my brother Doug. |
---|---|
Doug | How's it goin', eh? |
Bob | As you can see, we're doing the show from the middle of nowhere. |
Doug | Yeah, we was camping at the provincial park, eh? And like the park rangers saw our fire and noticed we didn't have a permit to camp there so then they kicked us out and we had to climb halfway up this mountain to get away from them, eh? |
Bob | Well, it's not really a mountain, it's a foothill. |
Doug | Oh yeah, like that made it a lot easier to climb up. |
Bob | It's not even really a foothill, it's like a big rock with trees and grass and stuff on it. |
Doug | Well that's kinduv what a mountain is. |
Bob | Yeah. |
Doug | Um. |
Bob | So, here we are. In the middle of nowhere. What're we gonna do? They probably towed our van from the parking lot like five miles from here. |
Doug | I think it was more than that. |
Bob | Are you sure? |
Doug | Yeah, I drank a beer every mile. So here's a case of empties, I'd say we're twenty-four miles from civilization. |
Bob | No way, half of those are mine. |
Doug | Okay. Twelve miles. |
Bob | Hey! |
Doug | Wha? |
Bob | We should go metric. |
Doug | Why?! |
Bob | Then we could drink a beer every kilometre, not every mile. |
Doug | So? |
Bob | So... kilometres are shorter than miles! |
Doug | AH! So we drink more beers. |
Bob | Exactly. What's the conversion factor to go from miles to kilos? |
Doug | Uh. Double it, and add thirty. |
Bob | No, get out! That's temperature. |
Doug | So, it's still metric. |
Bob | Okay. So how many beers could we have had, professor Doug, assuming we drank twelve each? |
Doug | Um. Hey! Are you implying one of us, possibly me, drank more than twelve? |
Bob | Wha? No, I'm just sayin' it makes the math easier... |
Doug | Maybe it was you who drank all the beers! |
Bob | Huh? No, it wasn't me, eh! I had twelve! |
Doug | Okay, that sounds about right. |
Bob | Geez. |
Doug | So uh, twelve beers, that's... um. |
Bob | Twelve kilometres. |
Doug | Right. Uh. Twenty-four. Wow. And uh... thirty is... uh... holy smokes! |
Both | Fifty-four beers! |
Bob | Wow. I'm switchin' to metric. |
Doug | Me too. As soon as we get back to our van. |
Bob | Geez, it's starting to get dark. What time is it? |
Doug | Uh, ten o'clock. |
Bob | What would that be in metric? |
Doug | Fifty o'clock. |
Bob | Well now that doesn't make sense. |
Doug | No, it's like next Tuesday in uh, the Metric Universe. |
Bob | The Metric Universe? |
Doug | Yeah! |
Bob | Wow. |
Doug | Beauty, eh? |
Bob | Star Wars was out last month, you nobk! |
Doug | Sorry, eh? Geez, now I'm getting cold. How far do you figure we are from the van? |
Bob | Um. I think the parking lot was a couple miles in the direction we're heading. |
Doug | A couple miles? How many kilometres is that? |
Bob | Two... four... |
Doug | Two-four? Nice. |
Bob | Thirty-four. Aw man! |
Doug | Geez. I don't like metric anymore. |
Bob | Me neither. Back to the old system. |
Doug | Beauty. So is that all for this issue? |
Bob | Yeah. |
Doug | How did we manage to upload it if we're in the middle of nowhere? |
Bob | Uh. Wireless Internet. |
Doug | Huh? From where? |
Bob | That tower I saw about five miles back. Didn't you see it? |
Doug | No! You mean the one next to where our van's parked? |
Bob | Um. Yeah. |
Doug | You hoser! |
