The 26-Day Marathon 5

I like this one.
Actually, there were several real stories that reminded this joke. For example, a real story coming out of the Stockholm marathon at the Olympics in 1912 involved a Japanese runner named Kanikuri, who simply disappeared during the race. Nobody had any idea of what became of him until 50 years later, when Kanikuri finally appeared to explain what happened to him. He was about halfway through the marathon, when he took some well-meaning spectators up on their offer to stop for a drink. Embarrassed by his lack of discipline, Kanikuri abruptly hopped on a tram and left for home without a word to anyone.
