SHOT PUT
Handing Mavis a 16 pound shot, the cruel tyrant stated, ‘If you can put this shot 40 feet, I’ll allow you to live.’
Although Mavis knew she was physically unable to launch the shot a distance anywhere near 40 feet, she was able to crush the adjacent tyrant’s cranium with a toss of merely 3 feet, thereby earning both the unending devotion of the gathered multitudes and 16 sacks of oats.
Very funny.
And again even more so once I had converted to the metric system, of which I am more familiar.
