The Operation Was A Success

“The operation was a success,” begins the old joke. “But the patient died.” It’s a humorous (sort of) way of asking a very important question: When does the cure become worse than the disease?

Ever seen a video of a Black Friday brawl? It happens every year as shoppers stampede, argue, and physically assault each other over items in stores just because they are on sale. Just do a web search for “Black Friday fights,” and you’ll find tons of them.
