12 feet in a yard?

[Patrick Duffy]

Dana Jacobson from Cold Pizza seriously seemed surprised today when she was told that there were three feet in a yard.

Dana - Wait a minute, I'm being told its actually 3 feet in a yard. Isn't it 12 feet in a yard? Really?

She always seemd pretty bright to me before this incident, but now... ugh...

You can't be serious!? Maybe her backyard is twelve feet long. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] You'd think the producers or SOMEBODY would have straightened this out before shooting the show.

It went down as part of a discussion about a long home run. Ahmad made a comment about the distance of the homerun and said he never hit a golf ball that far. He asked how far 492 feet was in yards or something like that. Dana said something along the lines of "Well let's see, 12 feet in a yard... I have no idea." I thought she was joking at first, but then about a minute later she said the line in the original post.

Wow. Wow. Ahmad doesn't seem much brighter. He must really suck at golf.

Meh, this could easily be solved if the USA were to move to the metric system.

OT - why was it lineal and not linear? Why specify linear/linear when selling chain?

I think this anecdote is more interesting than it first appears.

Boris,

I'm not sure about lineal vs. linear, but it may be OSH-speak. As far as specifying lineal(r) in the first place, I think it's just a standard practice within a hardware store to separate from square feet.
