In Response To: Lets remove nothing (Strato)

During a somewhat boring performance of "Waiting for Godot," an old man in the audience asks in a loud voice, "Is that fire?"

There's an immediate reaction in the seats nearby. People start shouting: "Did somebody say fire?" "Where's the fire?" And panic ensues as everyone rushes to the exits.

The theater is eventually emptied. Fortunately no one is hurt and it soon becomes clear that there was no fire. The manager of the theater approaches the old man and says, "Why did you say there was a fire?"

The old man replies, "I was only asking a question."
