The magical cup of tea

Once upon a time, there was this small but not at the very least ugly nor dumb lady who was trying to write a paper for a conference. The paper dealt with trying to unmess a mess that had a very awkward and messy structure inside her head filled with two kinds of little people: the neurones (leaded by this little lady called dorotea after that famous revolutionary icon) and the hormones (leaded by this little table dancer called jeannette who was actually a real and complete b*tch). These two kinds of little people were the ones responsible for the messy mess to unmess... and there were always cruel and sanguinary battles between Dorotea (the cool revolutionary) and jeannette (the b*tch) which ended in the destruction of some members of both armies. Anyway, one day, amongst one of this sanguinary battles which jeannette was winning with a great advantage, the fuel cells in charge of movilising Dorotea's army ran out of power.
"Oh my God" Dorotea said "what the hell are we supposed to do!!"
No one from her army had a clue of how to steal some fuel from the other army without compromising their position or where to find some more.
It was a very sanguinary battle (as I have said twice now), little people from the revolutionary army were exhausted and without motivation, it all seemed to be working against them, even the weather was awful... when derepente.... this little fellow who nobody noticed because he was little stood out from the croud of injured soldiers and shouted: "my dear lady the revolutionary Dorotea why don't we induce an uptake of a magical cup of tea?"
Everybody else's eyes turned immediatelly to the small hamster who was in charge of turning the wheel that was in charge of making the small people's habitat work... nobody had ever taken him seriously... after all, he was just a hamster...
Dorotea, however, in her wisdom, shared the vision of the small hamster... maybe that was exactly what they needed- she thought... Then instead of directing her army to attack the tabledancer's army... she sent them to induce the need for a cup of tea in order to concentrate their power and finally defeat the other army.
And then I went to the kitchen, prepared a cup of tea, drank it and I've just lost approximatelly 10 or 15 minutes of the time I was supposed to destine to the preparation of my paper which is due in 2 days time fantasising about how my brain works....

Salam!
