A disco dancer wearing ice skates enters a rink set aside for figure
skating.  It so happens that a large group of figure skaters, some Olympic
hopefuls, are practicing there that day.  This disco skater pulls out a
small portable stereo, pops in a CD with "Dance Fever", slides out amongst
the crowd, and shuffles around for a bit to the music.  Not figure skating,
really...just kind of skating around with a few hip shakes and
pointing-at-the-ceiling movements for effect.

Some of the skaters are amused, some are indifferent, some are interested,
some are slightly annoyed, but they all continue their figure skating anyway.

The dancer suddenly interrupts everyone to explain that what they are doing
is merely "ice scraping", and begins handing out pamphlets, written by the
leader of the Disco Skating Alliance, which explain the rightness of disco
skating and the wrongness of figure skating.  Some of the figure skaters
are highly skeptical and a debate quickly ensues...and just as quickly ends...

The disco dancer suddenly packs up the stereo, skates, wig, and polyester
pants and goes home.

The figure skaters shrug and resume their practice.  Some wonder why the
disco skater didn't go to the OTHER rink that's open for skaters of all
kinds.  But it was too late...for by then, the disco skater was already in
the parking lot getting down to business with a crowbar, a fifty-pound bag
of sugar, and two hundred pamphlets.
