A chip fork could be used as a metric in Britain. You could measure distance using the length of a chip fork -- "The pub is down that road 544 chip forks." Or you could use one as a measure of area, based on the relative density of chip forks: "His estate encompasses three million chip forks." Chip forks, an essential part of a fish and chip meal, cover the land. © 2005 Lawrence I. Charters |
