Barry,

  You're right about all of that. But, usually, I have a list of what
I'm going to get, and shop where I know where everything is...so like
prepping for a colonoscopy (a lousy anal-ogy <G>), I want to get it
over with.

 BM> About right.  Do something, do nothing - no matter what could be
 BM> photographed with a cell phone or security camera, purposely or not.

  Sometimes, I think those things are "setups".

 DS> ... Why's the third hand on the watch called the second hand?

 BM> One is for hours, one is for minutes, one is for seconds.

 BM> Or the first two were together and then the second one was added.

 BM> Or just to mess with people!

  Then with the stopwatch, you have hundredths of seconds. I guess that
applies to when you try to be the hot dog eating champion. :P
