Asleep at the switch
I was at Sam's Club picking up stuff for my Mother In Law the other day when I saw this:

Yard-O-Beef, great name, but unfortunately it's only a 1 1/2' long! There is no Yard-O-Beef.
Now the interesting thing is that it weighs 3 lbs, and Sams on line calls it "Hillshire Farm 3LB Yard-O-Beef".
Someone, somewhere is trying to sell a unit of length based on unit of weight.
I hate to say it, but I am indeed petty enough to be peeved by that.
