The Efficiency ExpertThe 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 20 minutes to get breakfast ready. Now I do it in seven.''
