I was working a middle school tournament in Beaverton and we had teams from all up and down the west coast, including British Columbia. Before one of their games, I told the scorer (a volunteer mom) that since we had a team from Canada we were playing international rules and she had to keep score in metric. She asked what that meant. I told her that every time a team scored a point, she had to credit them with 1.47 points. I said, "they gave you a calculator, didn't they?" She froze, then said, "I'd better get my husband." My partner was cracking up and I told her I was just joking. She said, "I'd better get him anyway."
