That would be an interesting explanation to hear.........

He claimed it was a mathematical calculation that was too hard to explain.

Too hard to explain? In other words too hard to make up

That extra 3 1/4 obviously happens when you compare a deflated 35 to an inflated 31

I tried telling that to girls in middle school and they didn't buy it either "I swear, Guinness book of records is even coming to measure for the book!" There was no extra 3 1/4

Yeah, my wife looked over at me all weird, cause that particular part of the movie we were watching was far from comical.
