The scene: driving home late in the evening, an animal makes a mad dash across a six-lane street.
Me: Woah! Did you see that animal? What was that?
Nick (very casually): Probably a skunk.
M: Ok, no, that was definitely not a skunk. Didn't you see how fast it ran?
N: Why? Skunks can't run that fast?
M: No way, they run like this (doing a little hand movement to demonstrate a wobbly little skunk).
N: Really, eh?
M: Yep!
N: So, like, other animals are sprinters, but skunks are just joggers?
M: You could say that... :)
Ps. I'm pretty sure they don't have skunks in the UK.
