Efficiency Expert

"Efficiency Expert"*

*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."

"Stutterer"*

*A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes to a
counter in a department store and asks, "W-w-w-where's the
m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"

The clerk behind the counter just looks at him and says
nothing. The man repeats himself: "W-w-w-where's the
m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"

Again, the clerk doesn't answer him.

The guy asks several more times: "W-w-w-where's the
m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"

And the clerk just seems to ignore him. Finally, the guy is
angry and storms off.

The customer who was waiting in line behind the guy asks
the clerk, "Why wouldn't you answer that guy's question?"

The clerk answers, "D-d-d-do you th-th-th-think I w-w-w-want
to get b-b-b-beat up?"
