Very good. Try this one:

A businessman had an important meeting that required him to fly by Concorde from London to New York. That morning, his wife drove him to the airport & saw him off at the gate. She watched his plane take off, then went back to her car.

The Concorde is a direct flight -- no stops. Yet when he arrived in New York, she was there to pick him up. How is this possible using current technology (no "Beam me up, Scotty") ??
