Vitals Ancient and Modern.

There’s a dating site ad that keeps jumping out at me from YouTube. It gives the ‘vitals’ of the featured prize heifer (although I doubt very much that she’s a heifer in the strictest sense of the term, but cows are rather more organic in that department than we screwed up humans. Or should that read… No, never mind.)

87:58:85

What? ‘Vitals’ are now metric? Whatever happened to the good old 35:23:34? And anyway, I thought vital statistics weren’t politically correct these days. And I thought a woman only counted if she was 20:20:20. Or 48:48:48, if you prefer.
