Multi-tasking

Despite being terribly successful in life, people have often commented that my multi-tasking abilities are poor. I'm not sure why, there are some multi-tasking scenarios I excel at. For example:

sleeping AND snoring
playing on the PS3 AND blocking out what Mrs. Dr. I is saying
listening to somebody AND thinking about what I'd rather be doing instead.

Whenever I mention these traits, they don't seem to count, and I'm still accused of having poor multi-tasking abilities. So, I pulled on my thinking cap (it's a very nice cap; red silk, given to me as a gift by my good friend the Sultan of Brunei), and began to ponder on what multi-tasking means, and the best way to achieve it. I think I have a new view on the matter which I'd like to share with you, as I believe money can be made here - not be me obviously, I'm too busy, and I really don't need any more money.

My revelation is to multi-task by doing none of the tasks, and instead have somebody else do them for you. This probably sounds silly, but that's only because you don't see the world the way I do. Let me give you an example, and we'll see if this helps.

Recently Mrs. Dr. I wanted to be driven to the centre of our metropolis, I don't recall why, I fancy it was to fetch some delicious canapes for on her candlelight suppers. I myself was reluctant to go with her as I was deeply engrossed in reading a work of fiction. Mrs. Dr. I can be quite 'convincing' when she needs to be, and I was soon reaching for my hat and coat, lacing up my Oxford brogues, and stood in the garage complex trying to decide what vehicle we should take. Since the weather was fine, we fixed upon the Mercedes convertible. Shortly after we had parked in the city, in an private parking location. As I was securing the car, I noticed that it was quite grubby in areas, and so I persuaded the parking attendant to wash the car for me. It took quite a bit of persuading, and needless to say money had to change hands before he saw the full benefit of my wisdom. I then headed over to my club and read. Anyway, let's fast-forward this story to the conclusion, as we now have all the pieces we need. A few hours later we were comfortable, back in the house, and an afternoon of successful multi-tasking had occurred: Mrs. Dr. I had her canapes, I'd finished my book, and the car had been washed, and safely parked. Four tasks accomplished, simultaneously. If that doesn't count as multi-tasking I don't know what is.

The only blight on this fine afternoon was that the parking attendant seemed so reluctant to wash my car, and here's the business idea. I suspect most people would happily pay ready money to have their car washed for them whilst it was idly parked, and they were busily engaged elsewhere. If you do set up this business, and make your first million, please remember me to your accountant.
