There was a janitor who would have to vacuum each stair one by one. No matter what he did, no matter how close the outlet he plugged into was, his vacuum would always stop on the third stair. He tried a new vacuum. No change. He tried a longer cord. No change.
Finally he just decided to get used to it, because it never changed.
