Or, more formally, the product of the uncertainty about the position and the momentum cannot be less than a certain constant.
So by saying he knows exactly where he is, he's implying that he knows nothing about his momentum (which is proportional to his speed).

There is so little time and so much to learn. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess this means I probably wouldn't be the best choice for working with sub-atomic particles...
Maybe I can get a job in McD's... Would you like fries with that?
