Oh, is that what I was doing in there?

I don't recall it being too much a zoo.
The lectures about the dangers of hot burning fire, sharp cutty stabby slicy things, and bendy crushing things may have gotten through.

Carelessness and hippy long hair are not a good mix.
That may have impressed the rest of us more than the lecture.
