I was watching my wife make her breakfast one morning, and noticed that she made way too many trips to get each of the items she needed. So I said in my best engineer voice, “Hey sweetheart, why don’t you utilize the load maximization principle and carry all the items you need in one trip, thereby minimizing total distance travelled?”
Well don’t you know, she loved my suggestion!
It used to take her 11 minutes to make her breakfast… now I do it in 5.
In a previous career, I was an R&D engineering program manager. I got *really good* at logistics.
One morning, after observing my wife go to the fridge and get milk for her cereal, bring it back to the table, pour some into the bowl, return the milk to the fridge, and go sit back down, I suggested she bring the bowl to the fridge, instead.
Did you know that milk and corn flakes make a dandy hair conditioner?
Disappointing theists since 1968!
