That's 48 inches instead of 36, but still referred to as a "yard stick." They started a trend and now I have "yard" sticks in three, four, five, and even six foot lengths. Cool, really cool.

Well, it's not so much a little white lie as misrepresentation of goods offered for sale. That's probably illegal. Or at least immoral. Or fattening.
