    Fascinating. The guy hits the gavel and people listen. There is no fighting. The man with the stick is the master of ceremonies. It's the same everywhere I swear to God.

    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5
    Part 6

    Yes, the monkey has the stick, but the man has the rope in his hand and the rope goes to the monkey's neck.

    If he plans on choking his monkey, he's a wanker so to speak. Yes, too easy, but someone had to do it.

    Difference is that the orchestra is a voluntary organization and the conductor has earned the position of being the "leader".

    Just like the old British officer's swagger stick; a sign of authority, but a sign of authority that has been given by a group of peers on the merit of the officer.

    BTW: great ref. for Desmond Morris :znaika:

    um

    The conductor is needed in exactly the same way as any other member of the orchestra, it just doesn't work in any other way. Not so for a commanding officer and a lousy private.

    Conductors are like condoms. They're boring as hell to use, but you're a lot safer that way.
