It was a cold day and the wind was blowing. The Blathering Idiot and his friend, Gary, were walking to take place in a protest against some change they knew little about but felt had to be protest because somebody on the radio had told them so.
The Blathering Idiot turned to his friend and said, “You know, Gary, the biggest problem with reform is that it requires you to think.”
Gary paused for a minute, then said, “I hadn’t thought about that.”
They stopped and looked at each other. First one minute passed. Then another, and another, each looking at the other.
“I think we’ve discovered something profound,” Gary said.
Finally, they decided to turn around and go back home, where at least they could think in a warm place.
