hey i'm always late for work, so i figured i would just cut 8% of the time of everything i do, to shorten my commute.
i refuse to rush my morning shower, so i'll just leave 8% of my body unclean. should i rotate which 8% from day to day or....?
i'll eat my eggs runny to save 8% off my breakfast cooking time. oh and who needs to chew? i'll just wolf it down. what's the worst that could possibly happen?
conveniently, i have exactly 12.5 kids. one of them (8%, i love it when the math works out!) won't get a good-bye kiss in the morning. sorry kid, gotta save 8% across the board!
i'll just drive faster in order to shave 8% off my drive. hope i don't get any tickets! but i definitely won't look for a better route. that's cheating!
i can't make the elevator go 8% faster, so i'll have to run up the stairs at a faster pace than the elevator. i'll be in much better shape, at least if i don't have a heart attack first!
at the grocery store on the way home, i'll skip one the of the aisles to save time. who needs toilet paper anyway? when i unload, i'll leave one of the bags in the car. hope it's not the frozen food!
anyone who says sequestration is better than no spending cuts at all must also believe that 2 wrongs make a right, or actually that millions of wrongs make a right. sequestration is a way to lower your spending by 8% while lowering the value you get for that spending by MUCH more than 8%. even if you think it gets the amount of spending right, if forces it to be spent remarkably stupidly, and therefore amounts to throwing away money.
