Make A Choice

Below is a story that I read that spells out a lesson in choices.

An old farmer went into a health food store and checked out
the new-fangled juicers, blenders, and appliances. He asked
the young girl who worked there about a thermos, saying "What
does this do?"

The girl replied that the thermos would "keep hot things hot, and
cold things cold." The farmer thought he could find a use for it,
so he bought it.

A week later the farmer brought the thermos into the store
and angrily said, "It doesn't work!" "You said this would keep
hot things hot and cold things cold, and it doesn't do it."

The employee asked patiently, "Well, what did you put in it?"

"A cup of coffee and a popsicle," replied the farmer.

The lesson of this story is that sometimes you have to choose
one or the other. When you choose everything you just get
nothing.
