15 Minutes from Everywhere!
This morning I heard a radio advertisement for a car dealer; they claim that they are "15 minutes from everywhere". I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
On the good side, this is a great shortcut. Theoretically, I could get anywhere in the world in a half-hour; I just drive 15 minutes to reach the car dealer, then 15 minutes to wherever I need to go. On the bad side, it could be a form of Zeno’s Paradox. I'm always 15 minutes from the dealer, and I can't get any closer.

Sadly, I think it will have to be heapin' helping of Zeno's Paradox for me... I just drove for 15 and I didn't see the dealership.

I'm going with Zeno's Paradox. Since they're 15 minutes from everywhere, no matter where you are, you're still 15 minutes away. Even if you're only standing across the street.
Apparently, these guys don't want to sell any cars.
