Looks like I'm going to be seeing my ol' muckers again
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
If a rule is "unwritten" then how are we supposed to adhere to it ?
Unless of course, it is passed on orally. A bit like the herpes-zoster virus in fact, in the the form of cold sores.
However, that's assuming everyone has perfect hearing.
Therefore, do "unwritten rules" not apply to deaf people ?
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Interviewer :Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.
Stig : No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me. Interviewer : But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor. Stig : Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah. Interviewer : Why? Stig : Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law. Interviewer : What had you done? Stig : Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. There's nothing Dinsdale wouldn't do for you.
So make sure you follow the rules!
