Simple maths


Bryan made me laugh the other day. He organises a monthly walk for an expat group (BritNimes) and was telling me about the next walk.

'It's one we've done before,' he said, 'but I thought that it was a bit short last time.'

Not wishing to challenge his intellect too much I said, 'but isn't it still a short walk?'

Quick as a flash he said, 'yes, but to make it longer we park further away.'

Talking about a long walk, what exactly was the point of this. I can understand people wanting to climb mountains, but I struggle with the significance of taking the so called Olympic Flame to the top of Everest.
