Mini Saga #66 – Attention

Jack was coming out of Bob’s office. He smilingly told John, “I stretched that five minute meeting to thirty minutes”. John smiled and walked into Bob’s office. Bob smiled and told John, “Come in John… That was a long meeting. Of course, I listened only to the first five minutes.”
