americans be like "hold on i gotta put a quarter in the parking foot"

@PsyChuan ...wait that's probably already the name of a thing isn't it-

@starseeker @PsyChuan I'm remembering that during the 90s, cartoon network would run short skits during commercial breaks that had various cartoon characters interacting. One had Shaggy and Droopy talking while in a car, and in reference to dog pounds, Shaggy said "they don't have pounds in france, they have the metric system". Droopy asked "well, what do they call them?".

I don't know what the punchline was though, because I couldn't make out Shaggy's response.
