The eight kilometers = five miles answer is a good one. I toured New Zealand in the late 1970's. They had converted to the metric system a generation before, but everybody still told and remembered distances in miles. They were all real fast at doing the math in their heads, because all the signs were in kilometers!

The true American method is to tell the person using kilometers to shut and up and use the real system. If they disagree cite US GDP numbers from the CIA world fact book.
