I am a busy city gentleman to whom time is money, and I was recently considering how I could become more efficient in my lifestyle. I have come to the conclusion that I could boost my productivity by up to a third if I stopped sleeping and stopped cooking food. Can you foresee any problems that I may encounter under this new, more efficient way of life?

 

This may possibly contribute towards your untimely demise, but that's the only problem I can envisage.

A recent newspaper report tells of a person who was getting through 62 packets of Polo mints a day and took to frequenting forums as a way of getting them out of the habit.

 

They are now cured, but are addicted to the internet.

 

Is it you?

I have been known to dance for polo mints in order to fund my addiction for the mint with the hole :blush::wink:

Oh dear. Whatever you do don't panic.

 

You could ring the JBH ( The Jammed Biscuit Hotline) but as there is a much controversy as to their correct classification, it might well be wasting precious time if they refuse to come out on the grounds that Jaffa Cake's are indeed cakes, and not biscuits.

 

The only positive advice I feel I can give you is to stick your head in the fridge so that the chocolate and marmalade don't go all gooey, and be extremely patient for possibly several years until a riske-free retrieval method has been invented.

 

In the meantime, many, many Happy Birthdays and Christmases.

I hope I have helped.

 

Thanks Sam.

I have done some further research into this matter and it seems that an article in the Wall Street Journal reckons that the answer is 700 pounds.

This seems to be at odds with your answer. Can you explain the descrpencey?

 

For those interested check out http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_083a.html

for another answer to this question, as well a an excellent answer to 'why does she sell sea shells on the sea shore?'

Dear Dr.Sam

 

I'm perplexed. For some reason, over the last few days, I've had, and succumbed, to the urge, of taking a shoe off in a public place, examining the nail varnish on my toes, and then tickling the sole of my foot to make me giggle. It doesn't, but I laugh and giggle anyway (I can't be seen having 'unable to tickle' fingers).

This morning however, after giggling hysterically, and calling 'stop, stop!' to myself; my hand obeyed, and stopped. But then, it went to my armpits, and started tickling me there.

How can I control this phenomenon:confused:
