The Observation . . .
An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of
caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home."
"Why not?" asked somebody from the audience.
"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the
expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the
refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a
single item at a time. One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't
you try carrying several things at once?'"
"Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked.
"Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It used to take her 20
minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers."
A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"
