...Why, for fifty three years I've put up with it now,
I must stop christmas from coming!  But how?  

the Grinch


Consider the song:

Silent niiiight, hoooooly night...

How the heck do they figure that night was silent?  You know it was probably
noisy as all get out.  Consider:

	-The three wise guys whooping it up and carrying on, especially
since it was the first christmas.

	-Shepherds watching their flocks by night: depending on what one
includes in the verb "watching" you know the ewes probably made quite a
racket.  

	-Little drummer boys rump-a-pumping each other.  
 
	-An unidentified beast achieved climax while copulating during the
middle of the cloudless night: it came upon a midnight clear.  

	-We received notification that the assistant-gods were experimenting
with narcotics: angels we have heard on high  

	-The Whos down in Whoville with their wimwozzles and pantookers  

	-All the bowl games, such as the one at the colosseum between the
Roman Christians vs the Detroit Lions  

	-The cops out busting those who had a little too much christmas
cheer: god, arrest YE merry gentlemen

	-Of course they were getting ready for a big new year's celebration
that year, being not only a new century and a new millenium, but they were
able to get rid of that bothersome negative sign and begin counting forward
instead of backward
