Once there was an egghead with his servant. One day, he told his servant to bring some books. The servant took two or three books that he considered to be the most famous, but the master said, "Not enough." The servant got one more book, but the master still said, "Not enough! Go get three more."

After the servant did this, he said, "Now that's it." The servant asked, "How can you read so many books in such a short time? You kept saying 'not enough,' 'not enough.'"

The egghead replied, "I'm not reading them. I'm using them as a pillow."
