Dear Steven,
Have you ever wondered how fast the wheels on an office chair can go? Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore. It is 82 miles an hour. I did the experiment for you. You’re welcome. Although, in all honesty, I didn’t really do it for you. Or in the name of science, for that matter. No. I rolled into town on my office chair to save the rubber on my new shoes. Then, while gazing in the window of a kitchen shop, I somehow got the straps of my backpack caught on the back of a bus. Unfortunately, (or fortunately for our experiment) it turned out to be an intercity bus that traveled on the highway. Also unfortunately, (or fortunately) the driver had a heavy foot. So, how do I know the speed? The police pulled us over after about an hour and a half. “Do you know how fast you were going? 82 miles an hour! Here’s a ticket. Oh. And by the way, there’s a guy on an office chair that’s been following you for the last hour and a half. ” The bus driver unhitched me. The bus and the police drove off. It took me two days and nights to get the 103 miles back home on my office chair. Still, what an experiment, hey?
