Today in an important meeting someone asked what unit of measure a "Tsubo" was. I correctly guessed Japan (I watch a lot of Jeopardy). The follow up question was: "What is the basis for the measurement"? My response was: "The length of a samurai sword?".
Silence.
Turns out a Tsubo is actually the length of a rice mat, that has a uniform length. In other news, no one thinks I'm funny.
