Imagine a buffet. You are served a choice of five courses every hour. Each hour you can find some serving that looks very promising. You do this for seven courses over the course of the day. And then, you do it again the next day. By the end of the next day you're feeling full, but then you look at the menu for the next day. This is a menu that seems to have endless, delicious looking courses. Of course, not all of them prove delicious, but enough of them do to make-up for any disappointments. By the end of the fifth day, you fear that you're like the Terry Jones character in the "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" who's gorged himself but who can't resist the one last mint.
