Dicks are a terrible unit of measurement. If we used dicks as a measuring system everything we build would end up significantly larger than the original blueprint.

Are you implying men are claiming their dicks are smaller than they actually are or that construction workers have bigger ones than architects?

That's certainly not proper imperial. The number is too big. In imperial you invent a new word if things get too hard to count on your fingers. Something like 6 dicks is 1 fest and 9 fests is 1 celebration.

Why are women so bad at parking?
Cause men constantly tell them this is 10 inches.

I like Roseanne's variation.

Men are better at reading maps because only a man would believe that one inch is 100 miles.

That's 30 metres for the non Americans.
