Exceptions are dangerous. Launched gumboots are even worse then teddies and the community is becoming desensitised to this- e.g. gumboot-throwing contests are extremely popular, possibly even more popular than dwarf throwing contests. Should we make exceptions for those as well? Next we'll be told it is OK as long as the dwarf is wearing a teddy and does not have gumboots on. Where will it end?

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
