Take a Number

Take any number and multiply it by the number of times you forgot to review the driver's manual before going to get your license renewed. Multiply the result by 1,000, and write down the answer on a slip of paper. Tuck the slip behind your driver's license. Go to the nearest driver's license renewal center, or whatever they call it. Go inside. Pull out your driver's license. Wait. You left it at home. Assume the expression of a person who has forgotten an urgent appointment, then hightail it home and get the damned thing.
(Hightail is not to be taken to mean speed; you don't have your driver's license with you, dummy.) Return to the testing site. Go in and have a seat. . .whoops. All the chairs are filled.
Stand wherever you are told to stand and take out your license so you will have it ready. Slip the paper out from behind it that has the number you wrote. Notice that the number is the same as the number of idiots who all showed up at the same time.
End of exercise.
