Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for March 23, 2022

He got pinched.

And he still carries the weight of it after all this time. But Don’t worry, he’ll measure up.

Anyway, gotta dash.

Turns out his measurement was off by just a smidgeon.

How many scoonches are in a smidgeon?

It was the conversion between English and metric standards of a smidgen and a smudge.

he was just a skosh off…

I’m sure there must be a joke in here somewhere…

He’s always willing to eat another morsel.

For those who want to get technical…

a Dash = 1/8 teaspoon

a Pinch = 1/16 teaspoon

a Smidgen = 1/32 teaspoon

Also was responsible for the “tad” project.

How many smidgeons in a smoot? Opps! A smoot is a unit of length.

How many smidgens in a dollop?

He missed it by this much.

Last time my youngest was here, he left an old book on weights, measures, and standards; I now know that an apothecary’s dram is equal to 3 scruples (I kid you not).

The dude behind the c-hair got a big promotion!

Bubkes of respect

Kept his job just by the skin of his teeth!
