"How do you do Nothing?" asked Pooh. "Well, it's when people call out 
at you just as you're going off to do it, `What are you going to do, 
Christopher Robin?' and you say, `Oh, nothing' and then you go and do 
it. It means just going along, listening to all the things you can't 
hear, and not bothering."
