Want a laugh, ask you child or grandchild which weights more, a pound of rocks or a pound of feathers.

Maybe the deli dude never learned the difference.

 

The biggest thing that concerns me about this thread is that you are ordering salami in the first place. The only thing we ever used salami for was catching crawdads.

 

You gotta start learning weights you usually only talk about in terms of SAE bolt sizes.

Throw these at them and see what they say!

11/32's... no you are not drilling a hole to tap your pyro probe, that'll get you about half a pound.

5/8ths... thats 3/4 of a pound in Deli speak.

7/8th... that'll get you an even 1.00 lbs right on the dot.

PS I love the Boars Head meats. including Salami!
