   The reality check...
                 20% pursue erotic thoughts
                 20% are reminiscing
                 Others are worrying, daydreaming, 
                 thinking about lunch
                 Only 20% are actively listening
                 Attention drifts after 10-20 minutes (30 
                 sec. – 5 min.)
                 Listening, asking or responding or 
                 taking notes only half the time
                 Up to 15% of their time is spent 
                 fantasising (Gardiner 1998)
