Babies

I don't understand why babies are measured like fish when they are first born. You always get that office email when someone has a baby saying that the baby was 9 lbs. 10oz. and was 23 inches long. But it's never followed by, "so they threw him back." Why not say the baby was 1'-11". I don't go around saying I am 67 inches. Why change how we measure people just because they are babies? Same with age. People ask me how old my niece and nephew are so I tell them "one is a little more than three years and the other is one and a half." People want me to say how many months they are. I don't have time to figure out how many months old they are..hmmm I guess 17 months? I don't say I am 354 months. Although I should.
Speaking of babies, that new 50 Cent song... "have a baby by me, be a millionaire" What a dumbass that guy is.

fun size?

You know when Halloween comes around you are going to buy those fun size candies. All your favorite candy bars come in bite sized pieces. Since when did we institute "fun"as a unit of measure? Imagine using that in everyday job type speech. I could tell the contractors, "yeah, the reveal is about a fun size" or "the joists are spaced 26 fun sizes." Those are terrible examples by the way. But did you ever notice that whenever someone buys a bag of fun size candies there's Krackel, Mr. Goodbar and regular Hershey's milk chocolate, and everybody always goes for the Krackel or Mr. Goodbar first? But in real life, no one ever craves a Krackel or a Mr. Goodbar. Come to think of it, I have only ever seen them in that fun size bag.
