'What’s the fastest recorded speed of a greyhound?'

“What,” Sean asks, “is the fastest recorded speed of a greyhound?”

“They can go 40-50 mph,” says Eugene. "I went faster when my mother in law came to visit!”

"Back of the class to you, Eugene. I’m not accepting that. We need a precise answer. I take it your mother in law is not listening."

“I used to know a greyhound man,” says Davy in Bangor, "and as far as I remember the fastest a greyhound has been recorded running is 42 mph. It was a race in Australia. Other than that I can't remember, it was about 20 years since I've seen him!"

“You hit the crossbar. You’re a mile slow. But I have to give you the certificate.”
