On a serious note:
My job in a ten day Vipassana retreat was to wash the dishes. No eye contact with anyone or talking. We were meant to focus on the moment.
It was only at the very end that I realised my dishwashing partner was a woman I would have found attractive so I really did give it my best shot but was pissed off at the end because I felt no different from all the meditation.
A year later when tripping at a forest rave I decided to meditate in the chill out zone. I realised then that the Vipassana did have benefits after all and took up meditation again.
