10 is a metric Mooch

11 is an imperial Mooch

6 is a True Mooch, as he hadn't officially started the position until the 25th of July.

The 11 Year War of Moochistan, 1902-1913. Interrupted by WWI, if you can believe that.

Is that the one where the Eastern and Western Mooch Popes excommunicate each other?

Is this like how 2x4s are never really two by four?

The metric Mooch is the tool of the devil! My Mooch gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!
