    That’s what you get for following Dr. Seuss’s blueprints to the letter.

    So is happiness a finite resource that we need to protect that will magically make any one feel better or is this a unicorn thing that only works on unicorns like a haystack ?

    During World War II, you could not buy most dessert ingredients beyond the little bit that your ration card allowed you. My grandma had a story about an old dude who’d been out prospecting for several months, and didn’t know about rationing. After he got cleaned up, he went out and treated himself to a meal he didn’t have to cook over an open fire (I always pictured one with stools along one side and booths along the other, with a juke box and a waitress that called you “hon”). When he was done, he asked for dessert, and the waitress told him “What with the rationing, all we’ve got is Jello”. He agreed to try it. When he was finished she asked him what he thought.

    “Waaal, not too bad. I reckon it’s kinda like riding into the fog with your mouth open.”

    Strangely, not only could I envision that, I actually heard it go splorp.

    I like to think Dana ran a series of carefully controlled tests involving microphones and semi-colloidal towers to determine the appropriate sound effect.

    MY happiness has the consistency of Jello. HER happiness has the consistency of high-carbon steel. (waggles eyebrows suggestively)

    Hmmm… I wonder if the Happiness Heap is related to The Trash Heap of Fraggle Rock fame…
