12．There was once a club that only smart people could join．Many people wanted to join it since they would be able to spend more time with other smart people．
One night，the club's members were having a dinner party in a restaurant．They were talking quite a bit as they enjoyed their food．One of them thought that his salad tasted a bit boring，so he asked for salt shaker（鹽罐子）and added some salt．However，it actually turned out to be sugar．The group found that the salt on the table was in the sugar shaker，while the sugar was in the salt shaker．
The club members called for the waiter at once and told him about the problem．There were no other bottles．How could the waiter solve this problem？The group suggested many ways to make it right．
After a long discussion，the waiter simply looked at the shakers and said "It's easy．He then took the labels（標(biāo)簽）of both shakers off and switched（互換）them with each other．The room quickly became silent．
