Bill Bryson Quotes
I Know A Man Who Drives 600 Yards To Work. I Know A Woman Who Gets In Her Car To Go A Quarter Of A Mile To A College Gymnasium To Walk On A Treadmill, Then Complains Passionately About The Difficulty Of Finding A Parking Space. When I Asked Her Once Why She Didn't Walk To The Gym And Do Five Minutes Less On The Treadmill, She Looked At Me As If I Were Being Willfully Provocative. 'Because I Have A Program For The Treadmill,' She Explained. 'It Records My Distance And Speed, And I Can Adjust It For Degree Of Difficulty.' It Hadn't Occurred To Me How Thoughtlessly Deficient Nature Is In This Regard.
