More than the circumference of the Earth
I read this story, particularly, this line: Latest Government figures show that the flowers that make up the average bunch have flown 33,800 miles to reach Britain.
After my head exploded, little ol' me, a nobody, thought to myself "Bull s**t". No way could that be, so I looked up the circumference of the Earth. Right around 24,900 miles (at the equator). So you're telling me, if I send my wife a dozen roses, they have to fly around the world before they get to our front door?
Why doesn't anyone question these people on this stuff? You know that that number (33,800) will be repeated over and over and over, but no one. . . NO ONE will question it!!
Except me.

You're welcome.
