Did the October 28 Marine Corps Marathon in just over three hours. Well actually, it was well over six hours, but Mr. Paul has shown that preciseness with numbers, whether they be marathon times or calculations regarding federal budgets and deficits, isn't that important.
In fact, next year I'm thinking of taking the approach described in an article in the August 6, 2012, issue of The New Yorker. The article detailed the marathon activities of a Michigan dentist who claimed good times in a lot of marathons but apparently had employed a sophisticated strategy of avoiding many of the miles between the start and the finish. The MCM course is a series of zigzags that would provide numerous shortcut opportunities. But I won't be a glutton. Claiming a time of just over four hours seems sufficient.
Incidentally, the Michigan dentist might be ideal for a position in a Romney-Ryan Administration. Fudging the numbers is the only way their promises have a chance of working out.

Ye of such little faith!! Ryan's numbers are always correct, just ask Mr Mitt. And, just how many MCMs have you completed?
ReplyDeleteHe's completed many MCM's and Ryan, well, he is in over his head.
ReplyDeleteGlad you partcipated, Cranky! Perhaps next year a little training work with the P90X might help shorten the time ;-)
