    She’s never satisfied. You give her an inch, and she’ll want a foot.

    She’s just trying to approach this from the right angle.

    If he claims to have a good foot in length, she should just let it slide.

    I’ll side with the protractor. He seems more well-rounded.

    You are only a 6 inch ruler. The foot long rulers are in higher demand.

    Rulers aren’t “long lines”. Yardsticks are closer to the mark. And he doesn’t even meet ’er half way.

    Why is the protractor on a bed? What’s about to happen?

    I guess the protractor has a different angle on the situation!

    Good story arc Scott. Just need an Abacus to settle this.

    Give ‘em an inch and they think they’re a ruler.

    Yes, but were they imperial rulers or the new fangled metric ones.

    I heard that they are not making 12” rulers any longer

    If you research inch by inch, you’ll find measured yards of info that can lead to a discovery….

    Maybe incest would keep the curved ruler ancestry going in a circle.

    Straight line … shortest distance and all that. But I’m on the fence if worm holes in space are the straight scoop.

    They should be smart enough to figure it out since they are both graduated.

    And he measures in inches, which are Imperial measurements. Not like that common, metric riff-raff.
