You're right, here's a Trosky joke to add a bit of levity.

How many Trotskyites does it take to change a lightbulb? You cannot change a lightbulb, Comrade, you must *smash* it!

Ah, Dennis, would that I could regale the list with stories of sheep riots in New Zealand (did you mean riots about sheep or rioting sheep?).

I do, however, have a brief livestock tale. I did recently had the opportunity to stand six inches away from a (armed and uniformed) cop and yell at him about some feral chickens. It was very empowering. Cheers, Frances Bolton
