Quickest puncture?

Following on from the fuel economy & tyre life threads ;)
What's the soonest you've got a puncture on a new tyre?

Me today - before I even got home from the garage. So that's withing 25 miles of having the tyre fitted

I just had one fixed this morning after about 500 miles.

The guy was telling me he had a bloke had a new back tyre put on his GSXR, got a slice of metal in it after three miles! Not fixable either.....

Ooooh, bet that hurt!

You've just failed your geek test of recognising tyre treads [-X
It is an Avon, but an AV40 not a Storm.
£5.50 to buy, £10 to fit & already repaired with Crafty Plugger :D
