    be me

    farm linen

    some bearded dipshit comes up to me, and says “how much linen will you trade for a coat?

    ”idk like 20 yards”

    ”and how did you determine it”

    ”cause socially average labor time to produce that amount of linen is equal to the coat, mate, have you fallen from the oak tree?”

    and I swear to god, that bearded fuck pulls out a notebook and writes it down like it’s a revelation

    his wife apologized, seemed like a swell lady. Didn’t buy linen though

      42 yards of linen would probably be enough for a really nice towel and a small personal travel tent.
