Re: Natural Order of Events

A thought that occured to me  - where the girls, pails, etc, refered

simply because its easier to point at someone or something than to
mime an action, and people tend to do the easy parts of a task first
before grappling with the hard ones.

Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
