Me: by the way, woke up vegetarian this morning. Don't know if it'll last, but today I care about it. We'll see if I care about it tomorrow. *smooch*

Him: okie dokie. We currently have one block of tofu.

Me: And about a metric butt ton of beans. :-)

Him: You know how the PeeChee folders used to have weights and measures charts: 3 tsp = 1 tbsp, 8 oz = cup?

We need one of those, so I know how many shit loads there are in a butt load, etc: 2 shit loads = 1 butt load

Now that I know there's a difference, I also need metric to English conversions: 1.2 butt loads = 1 metric butt ton

Until the metric system took effect, you also had to be careful of the distinction between a butt load (as used in the U.S.) and an imperial butt load (as used in the U.K.), the latter being 20% larger than the former.
