Expert Advice

"Expert Advice"*

*The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with
a note of caution. "You don't want to try these
techniques at home."

"Why not?" asked someone from the back of the audience.

"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years,"
the expert explained. "She made lots of trips to the
refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying
just a single item at a time.

'Hon,' I suggested, 'Why don't you try carrying several
things at once?'"

The voice from the back asked, "Did it save time?"

The expert replied, "Actually, yes. It used to take her
twenty minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in seven."

"On The Krakow"*

*A man was eating at a diner, when a well-dressed
man sitting next to him said, "Excuse me for intruding,
but I could not help noticing your accent. Are you from Krakow?"

"Yes, I am," replied the surprised man.

"It is so nice to meet a land kinsman here in America,"
said the well-dressed man. "I tell you what. I am a
vice-president at the XYZ Network. If you ever need
a job, give me a call and I will be happy to set you up."

Six months go by, and the man loses his job, and decides
to call his new friend. He had completely forgotten the
man's name at this point, so he decided to take a shot in the dark.

The receptionist answered, and he asked, "Pardon me,
do you have a Krakauer there?"

"Sir," she replied, "we don't even get a coffee break!"
