“The pub is ten minutes from my house. However, my house is two hours from the pub”

It’s often faster to walk from one’s house to a pub than it is to walk from a pub back to the house—that is, the person walking home from the pub is drunk. A joke was posted on Sickpiedia on August 19, 2017:

“The pub is ten minutes from my house. However, my house is two hours from the pub.”
