I looked this up .. Would you believe 1 firkin = 6 hogsheads ?

Cheeze! A whole lot of firkin around for a quip!

There are lots of those obscure equivalencies..

2 pints = 1 cavort
16.67 feet in the Twilight Zone = 1 Rod Serling
Force needed to accelerate 2.2lbs of cookies at 1 meter per second per second = 1 Fig-newton
6.023 x 10 to the 23rd power alligator pears = Avocado's number
1 Billion dollars of budget deficit = 1 Gramm-Rudman
2000 mockingbirds = two kilomockingbirds

..for example.

Any soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is a seasoned veteran.

It's a sign you joined The Gov't Heath Care Plan when the only thing listed under "Preventative Medicine" is:
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Another sign is when MIT sends you a computer science degree. Apparently if you can navigate the website, you've passed the final exam.

You know it's going to be a bad day when you start to put on the clothes you wore home from the party and there aren't any.

Being a geezer has its moments!

When they ask me, "Paper or plastic?" I > just
say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to
stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I
answered, No, but I do fart a lot."
