Please note that she did not look him in the eye in the third panel.

Humidity in the closet? Or stupidity in the kitchen?

A stone is seven pounds. This from a country that thinks the US is nuts for not going metric!

@rollsroyceI think those “three stones” aren’t in afficionado’s pocket! LOL

I want to convert myself fully to meter system, but I still think in inches. Damn American’s! However, kilometers, and degrees Celsius it is. I tell friends that “it’s 20 Degrees out, and I’m wearing shorts”and my Flordian friends think I’m insane! LOL

umm, from my bad

Hey Adam,

Humidity, unlike hot water, tends to make fabric (and paper) a little large not smaller.

I know why Adam is snug in the pants—Laura is beautiful. That’s the explanation I come up with.

Wow, no innuendo… should I be proud of the commenter’s restraint or more proud of the reporters for catching them early? ;-)As for my own innuendo, I’m sure he DOES get snug in the pants when he’s around Laura. ;-)

Canada switched to metric when I was in university, and Celcius too a while to get used to. But in high school, chemistry and physics had already used metric units, so they weren’t unfamiliar. But then people complained, and the federal government decided that stores can advertise the price of meat and vegetables in avoirdupois, but the sotre has to weigh and sell the foods in metric. So when I bought a 3-lb pork roast on Saturday at $3.29/lb, it was marked by the scale at 7.25/kg. And though I asked for a 3 lb roast, it weighed 1.377 kilos. It would be easier if we went fully in one direction or the other. On the other hand, I can’t get used to switching to metric for some things: ceilings are still 8, 9, or sometimes14 ft for me; the grid roads here are one mle apart,and people’s weight is easier for me in pounds.

GAHH!! "Celcius took a while to get used to…

Gahh again, since grid roads are one mile apart. The browser (or Gocomics) was getting grumpy at the length of my comment. Sorry for the tyops!

Nice outfits guys! But I hope Laura wears lipstick before this is over. Because I want to see them kiss!
