I understood 'hilarious' and 'mildly amusing' to be metric. Surely this joke is imperial.

A little titter did run round the Peel Courthouse when the defending advocate challenged me as to whether I drank when I responded 'I presume you mean alcohol'? after, continuing with 'Vast quantities, Sir' (to High Bailiff Williamson - I know it should have been 'your Worship' before I am pulled up for that).
