The Yale Scale 

An all-inclusive hotness rating scale for females. It is a three-digit number, the first digit a 1-10 rating of the female's face, the second digit a 1/0 indication of whether or not you would tap that (1 being yes and 0 being no), and the third digit a 1-10 rating of the female's body.
*whistles* Wow, I'd say she's a 6-1-8 on The Yale Scale.

Really? I am not impressed. I think she's more of a 4-0-5.
