Is this not how lumber is measured in other countries?

It's the measurement that you use when you need to account for shrinkage.
- The house only has like 1/3 of its square footage during the winter months.
  
  What happens to houses with pools?
Finding the reference dick is the real problem.
- Eh it was probably the same king with a abnormally large foot but who knows maybe his feet are compensating for something
  
  You know what they say about guys with large feet...

  They must be compensating for something.
- Banana for scale?
In a row?
- And she still wasn't done...
- Try not to suck any dick on your way through the parking lot.
- Came here for the Clerk's reference
Well...a foot is a measurement so it makes sense to use other body parts, right?
Length is two feet, three dicks and a pussy. Anyone could measure that way and it would be a world standard.
- It always irks me when people think using foot as measurement was invented in England when they were used all over the world since the beginning of time. And different countries had different sized standard feet
- Old Slavic customary measurements had "foot", but also "palm" and "elbow" (roughly forearm length), as well as some less obvious body part based measurements

  The Elle / Yard / Forearm is one of the oldest and most common ways of measurement
What measurement did they use for one? The average or "the average"?
- They measured from the stump
  
  Make sure to get to the roots!
Problem is if a man drafted something dimensioned in dicks then handed it off to a woman to build it, you'd end up with a Spinal Tap Stonehenge situation.
- Why are the women not using their OSHA approved strap-ons to measure?
Awful system, they're always giving me much less than I expect.
- Hey, it was just cold in the warehouse.
If the foot measurement is supposedly based on King Henry I, who's dick is this? 👀
I just replace miles with dicks because mines the same size
- That sounds... Inconvenient.
  
  Not really, I always have a measuring stick on me!
- My condolences for your too long schlong.
So I'm guessing its 240000 dicks to build a house?
Is this a personalised measurement? Like do you have to slap your dick on the table and then go "300 dicks of wood please"
- You have to if you don't want to get shortchanged.
If you're measuring something in dicks and you're in Europe, multiply by 0.75 to convert
- Bro did they dirty 💀
- We were going to switch to metric, but our 1kg weight got stolen by pirates.
- USA uses US customary units
  
  Which were based on the imperial system
- the Americans still stick to their guns.
  As we like to do, partner.
It was the style at the time
