sudden flashback to my friend Meryl who was a Greenham Woman (one of the many women who camped for years around Greenham Common air base in England in the 70s and early 80s to protest the presence of nuclear weapons) - her telling us about getting arrested with a bunch of other women breaking through a fence, and they're all piled in the back of a police van, and one of them says "hey, how many policemen does it take to tile a bathroom?" and another woman yelled "depends how thinly you slice them!"
