I assume they're on the Mass Pike, so with twenty minutes per stop for speeding it should take about two hours.
On the other hand, had he asked, "at an average speed of eighty miles per hour...", then I would accept an answer of "one hour".

That is a mean question, everyone knows speedometers always lie.

That's what I always tell police officers!

In most countries, travelling at 80 MPH it would take you a long time to go 80 miles. You'd be carted off to a local court and fined for speeding; or, if very lucky, have to endure a long, severe lecture from a member of the boys / girls in blue. After either of these, you would ensure that you kept to the speed limit for the rest of the journey, another possible outcome would be that you would soon meet a traffic jam or get stuck behind a tractor / caravan and have to crawl along for large parts of the journey meaning that the 80 MPH cannot be maintained.
So the answer is 'a long time'.

What I'm wondering is this: Is this guy still alive? I can't believe she is still with him! Not everyone gets math. It comes VERY easy to me, but I have this wonderful lady in my life who doesn't get math. Big Deal! She is one of the smartest people I know, but her brain knows words, not numbers. She can spell, I can't. I can do math, she can't. This guy needs his head slapped real good!

So last night I went to a lavatory and it was equipped with those facilities which use infrared to control the various water-flows, towel dispensing, drier, &etc.
Stepping up to the urinal, a little red light to the left of the stick-shift began to flash most furiously.
Suddenly this wretched epiphany fell upon me: the urinal was aware of my presence, the flashing light it's only hope of expressing its alarm at the events about to ensue.
Does it have feelings. Am I so devoid of empathy that I wouldn't consider them?
Finishing my business, I stepped away and it roared in protest, crying a mighty torrent as it attempted to dispatch my unwelcome gift. There were no cigarette butts trapped between this world and the next: things could have been worse for it.
The wash-water appeared when my hands were expectantly placed where the water should be. Then the drying.
But I still can't help but think about the flashing panic of that porcelin prisoner.

Piss on it.

That's the problem. I did.
Now I'm not sure if I should feel guilty or not.
Imagine if they do have feelings. Imagine if they got free. What would they do to us? And how often?
I expect I'm in need of help - but should I call a psychiatrist or a plumber?

I waited a bit before responding. Well, here goes.
I have a general policy about satisfying the needs of a perverts, particularly when it involves perverts classified as a 'him':
No!

Definitely a Plumber! He takes care of/fixes sh*tty problems.

If it is that intelligent and unhappy with what you did - maybe it returned the unwelcome gift in the form of the wash-water

Go Italia!
It's no big deal, but if your cricketers could just manage to get 195[^] I would be most grateful as then Ireland win Group B and get two shots at qualifying for the T20 World Cup.
[edit]
I missed an apostrophe. The shame.

Yes. Just not very well.
But if they could just beat the unbeaten Namibians I'd be ever so grateful.

Italy is amazing me, now plays rugby and even cricket.
Veni, vidi, vici.

They are getting better at the Rugby too - if they continue at this pace, they could be a good side in a couple of years. Quite a good game they played against Scotland this year. Ok, ok, Scotland were rubbish, but the Italy of a few years ago would have lost anyway...
