They took a common chore and they made it. They were going to do it with vacuum cleaners, and they changed their mind. It's extraordinary, but the trouble with it is that they have given it to young people, and they're all wearing spandex and nylon and all that curling is supposed to be played by drunk people wearing tweed.
