An Observation on The Moon's a Balloon

Another philosophy I've considered accurate was a line taken from one of the funniest books I've ever read: 'The Moon's a Balloon' by David Niven.
During his army service he had to attend an officer's dance, and his friend, a mad Scot, was observing the formation sword dancers whose performance was starting to drift off due to what they presumed was alcohol.
"Looks like a bit of a cock up at the far end old man," he commented in Mr Niven's ear.
The more you live on this planet and watch the way the human species behave, the more that line makes sense.
