I infer from this comic that in order for Americans to protect themselves from “dangerous illegal aliens”, we should all walk around blindfolded while swinging sticks wildly in the air around us!
Idunno. I think manning the piñata rope is about the hardest job at a party. There’s an art to it, and the difficulty increases as the ratio of kids to piñatas. The younger/smaller kids are easy; you let them all get in some good licks, because they don’t do much damage. With the oldest kids, you want to create a moving target to reduce their combat effectiveness. Ideally, the piñata is dismembered piecemeal, with multiple Dulce Delivery Events where, say, an arm is beaten free. But there’s always that one kid, who isn’t necessarily the oldest or largest, but who wields the meanest palo. That kid turns the old broom handle into a lightsaber-Mjolnir combo that can end Piñata Time with a single swing. This can cause the Piñata Padre to panic, hauling back on their only control surface. I’ve seen them end up in the branches more than once.
