Jill wanted to convince Susan, a continually harried friend, that
she needed to find ways to relax. She invited her to dinner and,
while she was busy cooking, Susan agreed to watch her
videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques.
Fifteen minutes later, she came into the kitchen and handed Jill
the tape. "It was good," she said, "but I don't need it."
"But it's a 70-minute video," Jill replied. "You couldn't have
watched the whole thing."
"Yes, I did," Susan assured her. "I put it on fast-forward."
