A Nice Mug of Tea

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 55783

You go over to the sink, grab the kettle from its stand, place the spout under the water tap, turn the water tap on, turn the water tap off, place the kettle on the stand once more, plug in the stand, turn on the kettle, take the lid off of the tea urn, take out a tea bag, take a mug from the mug tree, place the mug next to the kettle, place the teabag in the mug, turn off the kettle, pour the water into the mug, replace the kettle in the stand once more, wait for the tea to infuse, open the cutlery drawer, take out a teaspoon, remove the teabag with the spoon, deposit the bag in the sink, put down the spoon, open the door of the refridgerator, take out a milk bottle, remove the lid of the bottle, pour some milk into the mug, replace the bottle lid, replace the bottle in the refridgerator, close the door of the refridgerator, take the lid off the sugar caddy, pick up the teaspoon once more, take out a spoonful of sugar, deposit the sugar in the mug, take out another spoonful of sugar, deposit the sugar in the mug, take out another spoonful of sugar, deposit the sugar in the mug, take out another spoonful of sugar, deposit the sugar in the mug, take out another spoonful of sugar, deposit the sugar in the mug, stir the mug of tea, put down the teaspoon and carry the mug of tea to Egon.

The time taken for you to carry out the entire procedure is nineteen seconds. The water in the kettle has not boiled. The tea has not infused the water. The sugar has not dissolved.

Egon gratefully receives the tea and immediately takes a sip.

  1. "Nice tea" he says. Typical.
  2. "Ptoo! Are you trying to kill me?" he asks. Interesting question.
  3. Egon drinks the tea without comment. He is too engrossed in his "project" to notice anything amiss.
