Brain Teaser

[CPA]

Co-worker sent me this and I'm not sure the answer. Any guesses?


__________________________________________________________

Every day Bertha travels 30 miles in the course of her work.

She doesn't travel in a wheeled vehicle and never has problems with traffic, the police, weather, or airports.

What does she do?

 

[jfall]

surfs the internet?

 

[Yossarian]

She works in the Half Life lab and uses that tram to get around.

I'm thinking a comet or something like that.

Err Never Mind

I mentally swapped the word Drive for Travel.

Hmm...The answer is obviously a pun on the word "travel", so she probably travels in a way that is not obvious to us. I would guess something along the lines of Elevator Person.

Gah, looks like ATLien247 beat me to that answer.

 

[ATLien247]

I'm thinking one of those elevator attendants...

In a busy skyscraper...

She takes a train or trolley from place to place?

She works at home! Her computer is 30 miles away from her bed in her house

That would be one big house. It must take her half the day just to get something to eat or go to the bathroom.

Those round things on trains... they're called wheels.... So, trains don't work.

I vote for the elevator question.

Or, maybe Bertha is a honeybee gathering honey?
Or, a horse plowing a field? 30 miles seems a bit too much for this one though...
Ferry driver? No: weather.

I'm liking the elevator attendent, and I actually think I heard that once.

And for the telecommuter, that could also fit.

My bad. Elevator seems plausible though.

Elevator operator
Olympic runner on an indoor track
It could mean her hands if she's a secretary

I don't know, but I'm going with elevator attendent. I'll let you know if I was right.

 

[AdamDuritz99]

A honeybee would deal with weather too.

 

[Cyberian]

Drives one of those overhead skytrain things at Disney World?

 

[hulk14]

SHe works in a 100 story building and rides the elevator!

 

[dmw16]

I vote for elevator attendent. Of course 30miles in over 158000 ft a day. that is a big building.
