Cornered

Bill Jones, the local athletic “champion,” was bragging about his physical prowess at the local bar. None of the regulars challenged him, but a visitor piped up, “I’ll bet you 20 dollars that I can wheel something in a wheelbarrow for one block and you can’t wheel it back.”

Bill looked the visitor over and decided that whatever the stranger could do, he could do better. “I’ll take you on,” he said.

The visitor, Bill, and a number of the regulars borrowed a wheelbarrow and took it to the corner.

The challenger smiled smugly, rubbed his hands, picked up the handles, and turned to Bill. “OK, Bill,” he said. “Get in.”
