Hey, Terry, another varmint over here!
No, no. He's talking about a deli-meter. It's the metric standard
for
measuring subs and sandwiches. ;)
Nobody mention the wurst! I did once, but I think I got away with it.
Subtle distinction: A metER is a measuring device. A MetRE is a unit of
distance.
So presumably a delimetre is the equivalent of just over three foot-long
subs? And that Monty Python pun was the wurst I've seen this weak.
