One sunny Saturday afternoon, Melvyn, Sam and Bart were sitting around\na parasol table enjoying some drinks by the swimming pool at the Sasquatch\nHills country club, discussing the merits of their own swimming pool pumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know we all have the same pool size, as it was installed by my\ncousin Harvey\u2019s company, ACME Pool Heaven, Inc. Let me tell you, guys, my pump\ncan fill the pool in just thirty minutes,\u201d said Melvyn enthusiastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou must have gotten the cheap pump version, Melvyn, mine can do it in\ntwenty minutes,\u201d said Sam, gurgling down a large swig of beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince mine does it in in ten minutes, you both obviously don\u2019t have\nthe Tiger Turbo Pump,\u201d said Bart, stroking his Van Dyke while eyeing nubile pool\nfauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey guys, how long do you figure it would take to fill your pool if\nall three pumps were used,\u201d said Molly, the summer-job waitress, who had\noverheard the conversation while serving their Mega Burger Specials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melvyn, Sam and Bart were left nonplussed as Molly walked off,\nconsidering whether they would give her a tip or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long would you say it would take to fill the pool with all three\npumps filling at the same time?<\/em><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
