Everybody should ask everybody else's permission before doing anything. The spoons players should have asked everyone's permission to play, and each fiddler should have asked all present, as well. (Actually, the thought of three fiddlers playing at the same time, probably not in tune, chills my blood.)

It was unforgiveable for the children to be childish, too. All children should be forbidden to do anything, and probably to exist at all. My metro area had about 5000 abortions in 2003, the last year for which data have been collected. Way to go!

Probably we should all just watch TV. Nothing's imperfect in TV-land.
