Why would a 1000 gazelles be any faster than a single gazelle?

Although they could be running relay. But that would increase speed maintained over range, rather than actual speed.

Perhaps it's like horsepower? The more gazellepower you have, the faster?

I'd like to see 1000 gazelles running.

I think it's supposed to be "Paid a penny"

To bring it up to modern rates I guess you would have to change it to "Paid a fortune"

Nah. Isn't the popular way of saying to go to the toilet 'spend a penny' >

Zebras are never better

Spent a penny sort of implies a successful conclusion..

so "paid a penny" increases the anguish.

One spends a penny just to get in there. What happens next is the relevant bit.

Literally yes, metaphorically no.
