Woe, woe and thrice woe, we've run out of mammoth. Whatever shall we do with
a such world-wide shortage of ivory tusks and mammoth steaks? We are doomed
to starvation and the price of piano keys will go through the roof, no more
piano music because there will be no more pianos. Our descendents will be
walking around alone, forced to carry tiny little MP3 players in their ears,
listening in solitude to music only they can hear instead of being joyfully
dragged into a pub to join ribald revelry and punch-ups to the delightful
tinkle of honky-tonk, destroying society as we know it. Doom, doom...
