Okay so there was this knife found by archeologists in Istanbul. Really old knife, probably Late Eastern Roman period. Unusually for a knife made in a Greek-speaking Roman empire, it had a Norse runic inscription.
This is not that weird, because the Emperors kept Norse bodyguards, most famously the Varangian Guard. But while Istanbul had loads of archeologists who could read Greek, none of them knew Norse runes, so they contacted an outside expert. It turned out that the inscription on the knife, when translated, said "KNIFE."
Every person I have ever met with a label machine has had exactly this sense of humour. And now that includes you.

Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much, but it only confirmed
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world
And I could really care less
Also, look, I know there is still *so much* imperial measure hardware out there, but can we all please *please* just standardize everything to proper metric already,
(yes yes, I know the inch is defined in terms of the mm, so it is /technically/ metric by association, but I still hate it)
