"What we have here," the Mayor said, "is sorrow and shame at the heart of our beautiful city."

"Bullshit!" the traveler said. "You have, in both absolute terms and relative, and adjusted for intentionality and severity and whatever else you want, fewer suffering children than anywhere else!" He paused, thought. "That's an amazing per-child yield. Have you considered adding a second?"
