New unit of measure

e-mail from Charters:

"So did you hear the story a couple of weeks ago about the purported UFO sighting in Texas (I'm not joking)? Well, apparently a new unit of measure has been established there in Texas. One *eyewitness* described the UFO as being "bigger than a Wal-Mart". I seriously almost wrecked my car when I heard this the other day I was laughing so hard. I'm not making this up:

First of all, I want to know is what in the hell has the world come to when an any object--esp. a UFO's--size is measured by comparing it to a Wal-Mart. Furthermore, I need some clarification on whether the *eyewitness* meant a regular Wal-Mart or a Super Wal-Mart."

...had me smiling all day and laughing this morning.
