    What do you expect? A LxWxH dimensionset in metric? Yeah that wouldn’t be convoluted at all.

      Indeed, it literally wouldn’t be.

        I get what the joke is going for, it just doesn’t actually make sense so it doesn’t work

        “Size of a small car” would be understood widely. Measurements in any unit, less so

          No the joke isn’t making fun of the use of “small car” as units. The joke is that they spotted shot down Harry and Ron in the flying car…

            Well, I got it wrong due to the community it’s posted in. Whoosh may be accurate here.
