Me at Food Emporium buying pancetta
I'd like it an inch thick
He cuts me a hair thin slice
I say no, much thicker, an inch thick
He cuts me a wafer thin slice
I say no, an inch thick
He says an inch is relative
and without thinking I say, no, an inch is an absolute measurement.
And he slices me the width I want (which, realistically, was no more than half an inch)
And I laughed to myself, an inch is a relative term.. well, not really.
