"The British think 100 miles is a long way.
The Americans think 100 years is a long time."
How is 100 miles long? It's like an hour and a half.
100 years is like 20,000 cannonball runs, of course it's a long way!
100 miles means I will likely never visit you
You wouldn't spend an hour and a half to visit me? That seems like you don't like me very much.
I have some family I visit for a weekend 2-3 times a year, a bit over 400 miles away. It's a 5.5 hour trip I can knock out in a morning or after work.
I mean.. Yea.
I ve got (close) family 140 miles away. I saw them 2nd time in my life (21) this year, and not because our families dont like each other, just mostly the distance.
It's three hours round turn, that means I stay over night and that means it's something that takes all weekend. There is a very limited number of people that I am willing to spend that much time for
hahaha a three hour round trip is an overnight stay hahaha ha that is goddamn adorable.
The Americans also tend to think that the mile is not a silly unit.
