Salt and Pepper

Few friends went out for lunch at a local cafe.
After placing the order, they discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and the pepper shaker was full of salt.
While waiting for their food, they decided to swap the contents of the two bottles by emptying them on two different plates or napkins and filling them again in the appropriate bottles.
They called the waiter and asked him to bring two empty plates, napkins, and a straw or a spoon.
The waiter looked at them strangely - wondering why they needed those things.
They said, "We couldn't help noticing that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker contains pepper..."
But before they could finish, the waiter interrupted & said,

"Oh -- sorry about that."
He leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles, and switched them.
There was dead silence.

For most problems in our lives, there are simple solutions, 

But our minds sometimes complicate the simple solutions.
