Look at this beautiful chaos! The metric system booth sits lonely and abandoned while everyone flocks to the imperial madness booth. Why? Because apparently Americans prefer to measure things in "hamburgers per bald eagle" rather than those logical powers of 10!

The metric system is like that friend who always has their life together—everything converts so neatly! Meanwhile, the imperial system is that friend who shows up to a potluck with a casserole measured in "three handfuls of cheese and a stick and a half of butter." And somehow, Americans are DEVOTED to this mathematical chaos theory!
