My girlfriend got me a "Morphy-something" stainless kettle.. boils very
fast. She's from Scotland and had it shipped over. Only problem is the
damn thing's in liters! It holds '1.7' liters and has little weird markings
up the side.. '6' '8' '10' then '1.7'.. can't figure out what they mean
unless it's something like deciliters.. but who measures stuff in
deciliters? "Hey John, I sure could use 6 deciliters of coffee right about
now.. actually make it 8!" "Deciliters of tequila all around!"
