Breaking the rule of three: Cricket

As many of you know, we at FHS follow the sacred humor code of Hammurabi. One of the laws is something we call "The Rule of Three".

For an explanation of the Rule of Three, see the following excerpt for our book that still haven't been published or fully written yet:
In social settings, many humorists shoot off comments that are pertinent to the situation everyone is experiencing. If there are a number of them, they will most likely add to comments made, or what we'll call extensions.

For example, someone in the group has bad breath. Humorist 1 says, "whoa what did you eat, a poop sandwich?" Folks may laugh. Humorist 2 says, "No, it smells more like a poop omlette." Folks continue to laugh. Humorist 3 now has a decision to make. Does he a.) make an additional comment or does he b.) let his genius comment go?

The predicament that our joking friend has is a perfect example of the Rule of Three in action.
Anyway, occasionally we break the rule for humor's sake, so we're going to try to start a series of conversations that involve us breaking the rule.

Progress.

A look into human history will display the lengths and depths that man will go to innovate.  We have invented countless technologies that have made the world more accessible and life more enjoyable.  Yet with all our advanced technology, no one has been able to create a recipe for Honey Bunches of Oats that doesn't get soggy in milk.  Progress? I think not.
