A student in middle school shop class had a partially finished pen holder and asked the teacher what he should do next. The teacher replied rhythmically, "Clamp that base down. Drill a hole in it. Clamp that base down. Drill a hole in it. Clamp that base down. Drill a hole in it." He walked off, still chanting rhythmically, "Clamp that base down. Drill a hole in it."
Perhaps it was best that the teacher was nearing retirement.
