MG! I know what your initials stand for!
Really, Roger? Because you said that before, but you didn't.
I was just guessing before. But now I have it figured out.
Yeah?
Yeah! It's MacroGram. M-G! Busted!
Roger. That's not a name. It's not even a word.
Is so!
What does it mean, then?
You're supposed to be the smart one. You don't know?
No. Because it's not anything.
Oh, yeah? Watch this! Macro means a thousand, and gram is a gram. So a macrogram is a thousand grams! That's probably how much you weighed when you were born, so that's what your parents called you.
Roger. A thousand grams is a kilogram. It's like two pounds. So there's no such word as macrogram. And if that's all I weighed, I'd be in trouble.
Macrogram, kilogram - it's like a teaspoon and a tablespoon. Two words for the same thing.
Those aren't the same. One is bigger.
Okay, so maybe a macrogram is bigger than a kilogram.
Roger! Still no such thing as a macrogram!
Okay, sure, MG. Then how come your parents named you after it? Ha! See?
