Peter and Russel were bosom friends. One evening they met in a city park and started discussing about the most challenging problems. Russel stated that it was a challenge for anyone to lie stretched on a busy thoroughfare when the Sun was over the head. Peter accepted the challenge and a day and time were fixed.
At the fixed hour, Russel posted himself under a shady tree. Peter was not to be seen. Suddenly an old automobile was seen chugging along the road. With a grinding noise it came to a halt in the middle of the road. The driver, in his overalls, jumped out and went under the jalopy. When accosted by the policeman the driver replied that he was driving the contraption to a vintage car rally nearby and he would take only 30 seconds to set things right. As traffic started building up, the driver jumped into the vehicle and rode off. Before doing so he didn't fail to wave to Russel. Oh! it was Peter with a broad smile on his face.
He won a decent gift for his stunt.
