This is why you train yourself to giggle for no longer than 14.9 seconds, exactly.

"They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on." -- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington
