James is running in his town’s four-mile Fun Run. As he completes the third mile he looks at his watch and says to himself, “I’m only averaging six miles per hour. I wanted to average eight miles per hour. I must run a little faster.”

“Hi, how are you?” Mark says to an old friend.
“Fine, how are you?” says the friend.
“I’m fine. It must have been about … ten years since we last met?”
