#55: Going to the Theater
Ah, the theater. It’s a funny thing how people will spend a fortune to go to the theater and watch a cultural performance, only to doze off in the middle of it. They’ll dress up in their finest clothes, sip on some wine, and settle into their plush seats, ready to soak up some high-brow entertainment. But the moment the lights dim and the performance begins, their eyelids start drooping like a tired toddler.
They’ll nod off during the most riveting soliloquy, snore through the most stirring musical number, and wake up only when the show is over to clap politely and pretend they were enraptured the entire time. Maybe next time they should stick to a good old-fashioned action movie that will keep them awake, or bring a thermos of coffee to stay alert during the cultural experience.
