What is something you would not want to be responsible for?
Prior to the start of U.S. sporting events following a major disaster or historical anniversary, there’ll often be a moment of silence. When a stadium is filled with 40,000 people, silence is an aspirational request. I suppose the definition of silence itself is open to interpretation. You can lubricate each seat, and have all parents cover their toddler’s mouths to prevent the inevitable, “Why it quiet, Mommy?” But how do you prevent the creaking knees and hips of every single spectator? You can’t. I sure wouldn’t want to be responsible for the only noise among tens of thousands of my closest friends. I’d have to finger some undeserving fella behind me as the culprit while everyone in my vicinity plugs their nose. Thus, I’m a fan of England’s method for commemorating these moments. In lieu of the American attempt to fill 10 seconds with the impossibility of silence, Brits applaud for a full minute. If each individual claps for just 10 seconds of the requested 60, there’ll still be plenty of overlap to fill the full minute of remembrance—while making questionable the identity of “he who dealt it.”
