Mackintosh's Corollary

Related to Lloyd Webber's Law Of Temporal Positioning. The law states taht people who arrive at a theatre after their performance has started will always have seats in the middle of a row, causing as much annoyance for the other theatregoers as possible.

The Lyttleton Theatre at the NT (London) seems to know which theatregoers will be late, and invoke Mackintosh's Corollary on purpose.

Picture the fart being visible, then it would look like when battleships or tanks would make smoke to obscure themselves in battle.

Dude, I was making smoke on the way to the elevator and when I turned around I notice the boss was following me the whole way. AWWWKward.
