What's the correct way to measure a branch?

[purplepoppy]

Going by the picture how would you measure a branch?

Top method

Bottom method

[Orion84]

Clearly, the only correct solution is to wrap the tape measure around the branch in a spiral pattern, all the way down the length, as that covers both options.

That's obviously a 13 inch branch in the picture.

[NathanDavis]

would be more about how to use it, so...

make the most out of it...

[Nikki1989]

Men will always take the longest possible measurement.

[RandomGirl42]

Everyone knows u cut the branch down before measuring!

[AgentG111]

The width is what gets you odd looks while attempting to put that branch into a wood chipper the length or either measure can be helped by trimming it down, or placing the chocks around the base so it doesn't go all the way in. Using grease to coat that branch and attempting to adjust the chipper entrance can be very difficult unless you have a crow bar or a spreader.

I'd say the top method because, if you cut it, you are not going to cut at an angle. If you make something out of it, you are going to cut it straight across and measure its length from the cut end.

[Zack-Bann]

Assuming the branch is flexible (for some odd reason), you push it down just enough for top and bottom to even out and then it doesn’t matter which side you measure on ;)

[MrChinaski]

Pick a random number. Multiply that number by 2.

That's the GaG-standard way of measuring wood.

[lilBigPotato]

Depends on if you share the result on the internet or not.

[exitseven]

bottom method. After you cut the branch and lay in flat and measure it , it's overall length will be the larger of the two numbers.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

This was settled on here years ago. BPEL or you're an insecure liar

[Jessica405]

Measure both, then take an average. 6 + 4.5 = 10.5.

10.5 ÷ 2 = 5.25

Just a suggestion.

[MrChinaski]

err... divided by 2?

[Jessica405]

@MrChinaski Yes that gives an average of two numbers.

[MrChinaski]

@Jessica405 Lol. i completely misread your comment. My bad.

[Jessica405]

@MrChinaski LOL! Never mind!

[Natasha1995]

Boys will use method B. Girls will use method A.

[pierre7i]

Top method, because that's what's insertable !

[pierre7i]

I mean because that's what's used for measuring wood used for cupboards !

[fawkstayne]

3rd option grab the dick stretch it out and then let it go. This is more for fun not for measurement. then yell out "Sorry wittle guy!" yes "wittle" its sounds funnier than little

[FreyaRed]

top+bottom divided by 2

[DgBootley1]

With a liar, is definitely a place to start

[Jerre]

Because it gives the true size

[Amur8711]

Neither, measure from the middle.

[FunkyMonkee]

With a tape measure.
