One example: This is the time to donate Tho Thingan Robes.
-- You have it wrong, it's not "Tho Thingan" -- it's "Ma Tho Thingan." (Robes that last forever, don't go bad).
-- No, I meant Tho Thingan -- as we can't donate (the robes, because the monks all gone) the robes have gone bad (tho thwa te)
--- The comedians play "good cop, bad cop." One on far right says --
-- "I am afraid, I am afraid" and keeps walking out.
-- At beginning he says, "We agreed, didn't we? No sending metta (loving kindness.)"
-- In September, the monks walked around the city chanting the metta sutra and have been brutally repressed, with the arrests etc continuing.
-- We salute all these brave artists and the audience who supported them.
