How to Measure B.S.?


Posted by Matski on September 20th, 2004

Bruno and I got into a discussion over a few beers last week. As such discussions often do, it lost coherency somewhere between drinks 2 and 5. But out of that failure came an understanding of a new need — how can you accurately and consistently measure B.S.?

What’s needed is a unit of measurement. Can we, for instance, say that “Bush’s speech last night equalled three Reagans worth of bullshit?”

While I haven’t been able to come up with a standard unit yet, it seems to me that this is a useful exercise.

We’re taking suggestions.
