Since Usain Bolt became the fastest man in the world, Jamaican kids are obsessed with speed. The other day while visiting a school in the country
I overheard three boys in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are.
The first boy says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow".
The second one says: "Cho! You think that's fast! My father is a bird shooter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet lick the bird".
The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: "You two know nothing about fast.
My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!
