The System 167

This is totally avoiding the subject of the metric shit-ton.  English vs. metric shit-tons do vary.

Also, this comic should have gone up yesterday.  Sorry for the delay.

    The relative tonnage of a shit-load depends age, but is roughly the same as an english shit-ton. A metric shit-ton is, of course, roughly 10% more than an English shit-ton.

    I can understand why it would take a fair bit of time.
    You have to account for all the other amounts; a "milli-shit", a "kilo-shit", (computer joke; "kilo-shite"), a mega-shit, tera-shit, micro-shit AND nano-shit.
    Lets not even start on the conversion rates to "crap-load" or "turd-bunch"
    hee hee hee, laughing at myself for thinking "is it 8 shits to a shite, or the other way around?"

    I think the amount of coffee one has is related to the brand, not the amount. So, a shit-ton of Starbucks would be less than a shit-ton of Dunkin Donuts which is a larger amount for less money. This is regardless of the American or English units of measurements.

    but is a shit-load more then a butt-load? Or the is a butt-load more then a shit-load? After all you get shit from a butt…

    Don't forget the metric fuck-ton which is stored in the French Institute of Fat Prostitutes

    John Lamb, you totally stole my reply.

    Though its origin makes sense, being a french institute, as my Canadian friend first introduced me to the metric fuck-ton(ne). *nodnod*

    don't forget to calibrate with an internationally recognized reference at a standard temperature & humidity, maybe angel poop ?

    I just stumbled this… This is quite possibly the best thing I've seen ever. XD

    Thanks! I was trying for \”best thing ever\”.

    I have an experiment they could use to find out. Get a dump truck and fill it with shit. In the end, if all the shit they used to fill the dump truck weighs more than a ton, it shows that a shit-load is in fact, more shit than a shit-ton. If it doesn't, the shit-ton is more.

    I have always heard you could ISO certify a parachute made of concrete. Could you ISO certify a parachute made of sheet?

    A shit-load and a butt load are the same.Their only diffrence is a geographical one. They are both slangs used to communicate the same amount but from diffrent parts of the contry. One is an East- Cost word and the other is from the West-Cost.
