NOW THAT'S FAST
Three boys were comparing notes about their father's abilities. With an air of arrogance and pride, the first boy said, "My dad is so fast he can shoot an arrow at a target and catch the arrow before it reaches the target."
"That's pretty good," the second boy responded, "but my dad is so fast he can shoot at a deer and tackle the deer before the bullet gets there."
Listening quietly, the third lad could restrain himself no longer. "My dad is faster than both of yours. He can get off work at 4:30 and be home by 4:15."
