The network went down at work today. This meant no one that I work with could really do anything. Soon we were all happily chattering away, throwing around a football and mocking those born with defects in their genitals.

One of the coworkers had to walk away, we became so gleefully mean-spirited.

"See," she said, "this is what happens when the network goes down. We run wild! We make trouble! They should never allow this to happen!"
