My father is the greatest

These three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are:

The first one says: ``Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow''

The second one says: ``Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet.''

The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: ``You two know nothing about fast My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45!''
