tragedy of the commons

when a girl who is known slyly as the "village bicycle" becomes irreplaceably damaged due to the unregulated overuse by all the village boys without consideration to marginal cost, therefore becoming a tragedy.

Hence Billy realised the dark nature of the tragedy of the commons though tainted with roseate spectacles.

tragedy massage

a massage without happy ending - sometimes you just want that but not much options at 5 am in the morning...

Tired and sore after getting out of work around 5am.
See a bright sign flashing "MASSAGE".
I pull up and inquire within....
Madame: Hello, you want massage?
Me: Yes.
Madame: $100 okay?
Me: Uhhh... How much for just a massage? Like, only a massage? I don't need anything else.
Madame: Only massage?
Me: Yes. I want a tragedy massage.
Madame: A what?
Me: A massage without a happy ending.
Madame: No happy ending.
Me: Correct. Can I have just a massage? Nothing else. No happy ending.
Madame: ....... No.
