Hoistereous

As a brit, it took me too long in the genie proof wish section to realise that "10 pounds of food" meant how much the food weighed rather than the value of it in GBP, like, 'You can have fish and chips but no caviar.' Is it written as lbs? Please post the text of the email for easier dissection of it's watertight-ness.

This joke can be traced back to at least 2005 in the post "Captain's Log" here: http://www.b3ta.com/questions/stupidtourists/
