I go to my doctor, and give the staff my weight in kilograms, and the nurse
takes out a calculator and converts it.  Annoying.

I'm going this Saturday; let's see what happens.

Without any fanfare at my doctor visit this morning, I asked the nurse  
if she could take my temperature in degrees Celsius. Equally without  
fanfare, she did.

The mechanical scale weighed me in pounds, but I calculated the result  
in kilograms and talked kilograms only when I met with my dictor.  
Without fanfare, he listened.
