Miles Per Hour

I just woke my daughter (she's 9) and asked her - in her groggy state - "If you're in a car driving 80 Miles Per Hour, how long will it take to drive 80 miles?"

She started to give a wrong answer but quickly caught herself and said "One hour."

She did this incredible bit of math in her head with no mechanical assistance, and with the added challenge of being a Canadian where MPH is a foreign concept, we talk KPH up here

To be fair, my 8 year old was stumped, but I only gave him one chance (not 5-minutes) before my 11 year old chimed in with the answer. My 14 year old expressed concern about traveling at 80mph and the time lost from being caught by the police. I pointed out that in this hypothetical situation we're not driving a white GT5 in Quebec, so the chances of being pulled over are minimal, at which point he conceded that it would only take an hour.

Thanks for sharing that George

Sorry, I can't make a socially acceptable response.

Men, generally, can't answer questions about relationships, feelings or if a car makes her ass look fat. Women are clueless about most everything else.

lives alone and has a cat.

PS, its all sort of phunny . . . .


PPS: if a plane crashes on the border between the US and Canada, where do we bury the survivors?

we bury the survivors

We try not to bury the survivors here in Oz its not PC, PS neat video.

I suppose the question about one train leaving Chicago at 50 MPH, traveling toward another leaving Cleveland at 60 MPH is going to take about 50 videos to resolve

No socially acceptable response from me either....
Lives alone and have 2 cats - 4744 and an abyssinian ....
Those ladies all need speedometers like this.....(it's even in Km/hr!)

(Pope; your PPS....not!)

Sometimes I tell my wife shes a blonde thats trying to get out, I dont think I can say that now since seeing this video.

I think I'm getting old. When I was younger, any girl with looks, I'd be happy to wine and dine and engage in conversation with her for a whole evening, you know what I mean. But nowadays, these girls on the videos, I couldn't stand talking to them for 2 minutes, I would almost get sick...

Mikael,
I don't think that these girls are for having intellectual conversations with.

I think it is all fake. Best way to have your 15 minutes is be an idiot.

Then they keep the buzz going be announcing that it was all fake...and the are sponsored by Mazda.

I saw them on Tosh a week or so ago. They were good natured about it, but the husband seems like a dick. He said he regrets posting it, but then was condescending to his wife the whole time.

The guy was cracking up at how dumb his wife was. But when on ABC TV he was kissing her ass all the way. Pretty much like we would all do. Except I don't think our wives are that dumb. Or our kids.

I asked my teenage daughter this question and she said - and I'm not kidding - "like, as if you you would drive that slow - you would probably open your door and pretend to get out, like you do whenever Mom tells you to drive at the speed limit."
