A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43

I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don't think he had a yardstick, this wasn't a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.
