THE LONGEST WAY ROUND
Cyclist: ‘ Am I on the Christchurch road?’ Farmer: ‘Yes, you are right enough.’ Cyclist: ‘ How long will it take me to get there, if I travel at the rate of 15 miles an hour?’
Farmer: ‘lf you continue in the direction you are going, it would take you more than a year, as you would have to make a circuit of the globe. Head your machine in the opposite direction, and you will probably get there in about six hours.’
