Another legend deals with how the diameter of a golf hole was decided. At St. Andrews, golfers were annoyed because the holes kept getting bigger as the season progressed (just a hole cut in the dirt, so the edges eroded). Somebody found a piece of pipe lying around and cut sections of it to use as liners to stop the erosion. It worked, and everyone was happy.
Years later, someone wanted to standardize things. Since St. Andrews is the hallowed home of golf, someone measured the diameter of the holes, and declared that the standard.
I'm sure a lot of amateur golfers would LOVE to get their hands on a time machine and a length of 6 inch drain pipe.
Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
