Like a ___ of bricks (3)

I believe the answer is:

ton

(Other definitions for ton that I've seen before include "Unit of weight equivalent to 20 cwts" , "Speed" , "Imperial unit of weight" , "A slangy 100mph - heavy going" , "Unit of weight equivalent to 2240 pounds" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
