Peter: Um, about the foot-long corn dog you sold me yesterday... Vendor: What about it? Peter: It wasn't a foot long. It was 11 1/2 inches. You owe me half an inch. Vendor: We don't stock half-inch units of corn dog, kid. Peter: But I paid for a foot! I wanted a foot! Vendor: Fine. Here's another corn dog for free. Now scram. Peter: I guess the squeaky wheel really DOES get the grease.
Subways “foot long” sandwiches are actually 11.5 inches long. It looks like everyone exaggerates ;)
