LOL! It reminds me of a little ..."episode"... one of our Field Engineers had a few years ago. He and his European counterpart always took great pleasure in giving the other grief about anything and everything they possibly could. The funniest I ever saw was while they were working on a system and his European counterpart asked for a tool. To which the American instantly replied "Standard or Metric"? The European, sensing the impending verbal sparring immedeatley turned and yelled "Metric IS the standard"! The hilarity that soon followed was not to be missed.
