Best Argument Of All Time

One time my brother and I had a really long argument about the thickness of our ankles. We measured our ankle thicknesses using our thumbs and pointer fingers to make a ring around our ankles and then measuring how much space was left over. We determined that my ankles were smaller than his ankles... as it should be with me being a woman. My brother then claimed that his ankles were only made thicker by having leg hair that would flatten and contribute to the circumference of his ankles. I argued that even if this ridiculous theory were true, the radius of his ankle would increase by no more than 5 hair thicknesses which would mean the ankle circumference would only increase by 2 times 5 hair thicknesses times pi. This is a circumference increase of about thirty hair thickness. Seeing as the thickness of a hair is miniscule, the thickness of thirty hairs would not be significant enough to change the outcome of our measurements and his ankle would still be thicker than mine. I AM RIGHT.

This argument made me twenty minutes late to hanging out with my friend Lynnea.
