“Eventually they realized that this was something they were going to have to sort out, and they passed a law decreeing that anyone who had to carry a weapon as part of his normal Silastic work (policemen, security guards, primary school teachers, etc.) had to spend at least forty-five minutes every day punching a sack of potatoes in order to work off his or her surplus aggression.
For a while this worked well, until someone thought that it would be much more efficient, and less time-consuming if they just shot the potatoes instead.”
— Douglas Adams, ‘Life, The Universe and Everything’
