another of my father's favorite expressions: Take your time but hurry up

My grandmother used to rail against interacting with bureaucrats. She would say, "Yeah let's be sure to get there on time. Hurry up and wait."

Couple of months ago the doctor wanted me to get an ultrasound, so the lady in his office was giving me some suggestions where to go. She suggested one place that was "much more less expensive". I kind of just blanked out, honestly I'm still not sure how to decipher it, but I knew what she meant.
