Bzzt. GROSS-ly off. The correct ratio of inches per foot is 12 to 1, so

Gotcha.

("I should certainly think."  ;-)

Who got who? I was just riffing on 144. Are we going to start laying

You got me.  :)  Touche in a big way.  :)  If I could only wipe the mud* off

BTW, nice pun with the "GROSS-ly"!  LOL
