GUY IN OVERALLS..." WHAT IS SIX FEET?"  HE STARES AT ME EXPEXCTANTLY, BUT I AM TOO DUMBFOUNDED TO RESPOND. "72 INCHES?" HE ASKS AFTER A MOMENT. I REGAIN MY BASIC MOTOR SKILLS. "YES, SIX FEET IS 72 INCHES." TO WHICH HE RESPONDS, " HEY, I'M NOT A CARPENTER." I STARE AT HIM MOUTH OPEN IN DISBELIEF THAT ANYONE WHO IS OUT IN THE WORLD WOULD SAY THIS. "I'M RELLY NOT" HE SAYS THIS AS THOUGH MY REACTION IS DUE TO DISCOVERING THAT THIS GENIOUS OF A MAN ISNT A CONTRACTOR. I REPLY "YEAH...ME NEITHER, BUT I KNOW THAT SIX FEET IS 72 INCHES! I WASNT AWARE THAT ONLY CONTRACTORS ARE ABLE TO DO STANDARD CONVERSIONS." AS I WALK AWAY BECAUSE I NOW FEEL DUMBER FOR HAVING TALKED TO THIS MAN.
