Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance

I love this piece by American author Daniel Handler, written under his pen-name Lemony Snicket.
My personal favourite:

You might also look for someone who has a lot of extra children sitting around, with long, suspicious explanations for how they got there.
