After trying to put one of the objects in a slot for a bit the Doc stopped me and said, "You have been unsuccessfully trying to fit one of the objects in the slot for 5 minutes." I replied, "I am colour blind." He then stamped my paperwork classifying me for the "Lavatory" detail. I told the Doc thanks cause "now it is a cinch that I can get the job I always dreamed of having when I got out because now I will have job experience."
Old people have better recall on older memories but have trouble remembering yesterday.
