Bolhàr-Nordenkampf, Harald

I would like to start with a story. A scientist, exhausted from work, went on holiday to a farm. On a rainy day, he asked the farmer if he can do some work for him. The farmer said, “Yes – in the cellar there are some old potatoes. It would be good if you could sit in the cool cellar and separate the big ones from the small ones, because we will eat the big ones and the small ones will go to the pigs.” So the professor went down to the cellar. The farmer came down about three hours later, and there were two small potatoes on one side of the professor, and three big potatoes on the other side. The farmer said, “What are you doing here?” The professor, completely stressed and sweating, said, “you know – that is too much for me! Every hour – a decision!”
