Last night, after Fang tried to reprimand his little brother’s table manners, my wife told him “People in glass houses should not throw stones.” Fang thought about this for a minute, and said they also shouldn’t place heavy objects in one place on the second floor. Spike piped in that they also shouldn’t walk around naked. Squeaky thought that hanging pictures was a bad idea. So far we have that people who live in glass houses should not: [ul][li]Throw stones.[/li][li]Keep heavy objects in a small area on the second floor.[/li][li]Walk around naked.[/li][li]Hang pictures.[/ul][/li] C’mon Dope. What else should people who live in glass houses not do? ---
