With a mix of Metric and Imperial units like that, it's no wonder that aeroplanes run out of fuel from time to time.
Smokey, real engineers have to cope with $#%@*&! units all the time.

Just be glad your ASI isn't in furlongs per fortnight.

Speaking of units: the units of imbalance in many rotor-balancing machines are (I am not making this up!) - ahem - Gram-inches.
