Dear all,

in a stroke of ingenuity I have invented a new standard. I call it the
'lenium'. It is about 117.314 centimeters.

Yesterday I was shopping, using my new standard. But I had a problem: the
shoes didn't fit because a different standard was used to make them.

Well, I guess I go back and use the existing standards, because everything
fits so nicely together: the shoe sizes, the gallons of gas, the TV set,
the radio - isn't it amazing how everything works, that uses a standard?
