Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Wow!! Doesn't that give your jaw muscles a work-out? I saw "Mary Poppins" on Broadway some time back and this got stuck in my head, popping up at very infortunate times. Picture a scenario where you have to be completely serious... Like being in an elevator with a bunch of strangers and it is so silent and all of you are waiting for the 31st floor, fidgeting, adjusting ties, clearing throats, staring fixedly at the floor or the ceiling.

And you know the Joker inside you wants to break free, Wants to shock all these people out of their dreary doldrums. And inside your head, a small brain-cell chorus pipes up in a tinny voice "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" until it grows into momentum gathering up other support along the way until it sounds up in a glorious Big-Band overture.

The tension builds...The lady next to you bites her lip...Someone stifles a sneeze embarassedly...A hand tenses on its brief case...Do you go for it? Do you let your vocal cords rip and give these people the scare of their lives? Do you? Do you?
