THIS IS FUNNY.
It reminds me about the censorship of porn.
LEADER: "Oh you guys can't watch porn."
GUY: "Why not?"
LEADER: "Its bad for you. It will make you do wild and crazy stuff."
GUY: "How do you know?"
LEADER: "I watched it."

THIS TOO IS FUNNY.
It reminds me about the discussion about Peer Review and the bum
bridge.
LEADER: "Oh you guys can't tell the patient its a crummy bridge."
GUY: "Why not?"
LEADER: "Its bad for you. It will make the profession do wild and
crazy stuff."
GUY: "How do you know?"
LEADER: "Because the Peer Review Commitee regularly tells the patient
EXACTLY what we tell you not to tell them."
LEADER: "If we do it, its okay. If you do it its wrong."
QUESTION ~ How does that work, anyway?
