Going the Distance

My annual appraisal changed a while ago from requiring people to "go the extra mile" to merely going "the extra kilometre."

This is excellent news as it means I only have to do 62.1369949495% as much extra work as before.

However, it's worse news for my German colleagues. Previously we were required to do the same amount of extra work, however the German legal metre is 1.000013597 of a standard metre, meaning that now they will have to do nearly 0.0014% more extra work than me.

They thought they had a better metre, but who's laughing now, huh? Huh?
