“Carry pets on the Escalator”
Said the sign at the
escalator.
And both
Mark and
Spencer waxed
wroth.
For most of the shoppers carried neither
cats, nor
dogs.
So they set up a pet department to
rectify the situation.
And although the shoppers bought pets in large amounts,
they were reluctant to take them shopping,
violating the
Escalator Rule once more.
Mark and Spencer now had their
barbed hooks of
motivation entangled in the
fishing line of
uncertainty.
They contemplated several possibilities including
genocidal elimination of the
stereotypical shopper.
However, without a shopper on an
escalator cats or dogs will never be carried.
