Double the Speed Limit, Hits Speed Bumps at Full Speed...Excellent

I remember a computer science professor telling us that he was once somewhere like New York City and was about to miss his flight and wasn't going to reasonably make it to the airport.

He decides to do a Hollywood-style "if you can get me to the airport in the next twenty minutes, there's X hundred dollars in it for you" to the first cab that pulled up. The prof says "The cabbie said okay and he got me there in time, and we didn't die, but I am never, ever doing that again."

Sometimes people might approve of that speed, though.

And just as he sped off, Push It to the Limit came on the radio.
