Summary

This quote is a humorous take on the origin of virgin wool. It suggests that virgin wool comes from the sheep that runs the fastest, implying that the act of running fast somehow produces this specific type of wool. In reality, the term "virgin wool" refers to wool that has never been used or woven before, rather than being related to the speed of the sheep. The quote serves to entertain and provoke a light-hearted perspective on an otherwise mundane topic.
