there’s a great void in the firmament now that the libs have imploded and there’s no one to hate any more …

4.Three Irishmen and three Englishmen are travelling by train to a football match in London. At the station, the three English each buy a ticket and watch as the three Irish buy just one ticket between them. "How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one of the English. "Watch and learn," answers one of the Irish. They all board the train. The English take their respective seats but the three Irish cram into a toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed the conductor arrives to collect the tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The English are mightily impressed by this, so after the game, they decide to copy the Irish (like always!) on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Irish don’t buy any ticket at all!! "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Englishman. "Watch and learn …" says one Paddy. When they board the train the three Irish cram into a toilet and soon after the three English pile into another nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the Irish leaves the toilet and sneaks across to the toilet where the English are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket please …"
Indiscipline
I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours,
But by the time I was done with it,
I was so involved,
I didn’t know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days,
Playing little games,
Like not looking at it for a whole day,
And then looking at it,
To see if I still liked it.
I did! ………….. — King Crimson
