Watch out, Irony!

Sometimes?

While struggling to make the best possible choice,

we end up unable to do what we originally set out to do.

On average, French people's dinner lasts much longer than Americans'. Americans spend more time choosing from the menu than actually enjoying the meal. Driving farther to save on gas, or making the rounds of several stores to find the same clothing at a slightly better price, is likely wasted effort. 

 

What if,

instead of a performance bonus you chose a fixed salary — 

there would be no risk of seeing coworkers, family, or bedding as distractions.
