yore

when i was younger we lived in the olden days.
life was a little different then; everyone had to wear big whalebone crinolines. Because architecture was less advanced in those days our house had no rooms, but consisted entirely of long, narrow corridors; if you met someone coming the other way one of you would have to turn back; the crinolines made it impossible for us to get past one another. I once didn't see my sister for three months; we kept bumping into people, and there were a lot of corridors.

the good thing about that time was that ideas of personal responsibility were still in development and we were able to get away with much more; i had myself registered as a company with limited liability for my actions.
