I'm 30 megabytes from home

In Ireland, they are switching their speed limit signs from imperial to metric. Instead of miles per hour, signs will be posted in kilometers per hour. The Irish distance signs are already in kilometers so it's appropriate the speed signs are also in kilometers. (50 mph = 80 kmh)

Not many people are happy. This is what one person said: "They can list these speeds in watts or grams or, whaddya call 'em, megabytes - I still won't get a ticket," said Pat Cullinane, a Dublin taxi driver who, like just about all drivers in Ireland, has a car with a speedometer principally in miles.

I can hear the police..."You were 30 megabytes over the speed limit"

I'm BC and I'll BC'ing Ya
