You can't

drive to work, walk the dog,

cook that pot roast,

bake that bread, shower after jogging,

watch 60 Minutes,

toast the toast, brew the coffee,

mow the lawn,

call your mother, be cool in the summer,

wash your sweat suit,

dine out, play computer games,

medicate your cold,

build your new house, listen to "old blue eyes",

ride your bike,

videotape that wedding,

vacuum the rug, recycle your garbage,

play baseball at night,

be warm in the winter, fly to Hawaii,

check the time, flush the toilet,

buy a fresh tomato in winter,

fill that cavity,

use the cash machine

without an engineer.
