"Why?" asked somebody from the audience.
"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," Banta explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time.
One day I told her, 'Why don't you try carrying several things at once?'"
"Did it save time?" the guy in the audience asked.
"Actually, yes," replied Banta, "It used to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."
