Oxygen?

Refference to iCarly:

Quote
A cowboy went to Mexico on Friday,
He stays there for 3 days and heads towards New York on Friday.

How did he make it?

As a secondary one...

I invented this:

Quote
A cowboy went to Cuba on September 3th, sleeps for 7 days and heads for the Caribbean on September 10th, however he already arived there around September 5th. HOW?


Oxygen?
Nope. When you breathe it, smell it, and feel it without even knowing.

Kids, here's how you feel oxygen WITH knowing!

1. Find a lead pipe or something.
2. Knock the wind out of yourself.
3. Wait until you can breathe and you'll feel it.
