nosaj (Jason M Sachs):
I seem to remember seeing a documentary about some guy who got to
work in a Zen monastery, and all he did all day was stick a certain
number of pins onto the outside of each person's door, depending on
how much he thought that person was willing to be bothered. That way,
if you wanted to see the Zen Master and he was watching TV, you talked
to the guy with the pins, and he'd tell you if he thought you should
go in or not, or if you couldn't find him, then at least you could
look at the number of pins on the door. If you kept worrying about
whether it was okay to interrupt the Zen Master, you'd never get to
see him, and he'd cut your left hand off for not making up your mind
fast enough. On the other hand, if you thought he wouldn't mind being
interrupted and he was in the middle of watching the news, you might
get your right hand cut off for annoying the Zen Master. And anyway,
if you didn't catch the Zen Master in the right mood, you'd end up
talking to him about the Three Worlds and J\=osh\=u's Stepping Stones
and things like that, which you didn't want to do, at least not until
you were a Zen Master yourself, and especially if you just wanted to
know where the bathroom was. So the guy with the pins would help keep
the tension down between people in the monastery. It'd be nice to have
people like that around. It didn't work out, though; the Zen Masters
would give him money to tell the novices to go away, and the novices
would give him money to put in a good word for them with the Zen
Masters, and then one day there was a big ceremony and they cut off
both his hands and sent him out into the mountains for disturbing
the purity of the monastery.

Chilling Effect
A resolution offered in the Utah Legislature would have curbed the sale
of ice cream because "the increased weight, lethargy, and general
malaise of the adult population resulting from the increased use of heavy
ice cream presents a serious threat to the very fiber of family
relationships."
