NO TICKER TAPE

The Giants are having their victory parade today, and someone called it a ticker tape parade.  Uh, no.  Not a ticker tape parade.  Parade, yes, ticker tape, no.  Why not?  No more ticker tape machines; therefore, no more ticker tape.  Call it a confetti parade,if you like.  Doesn’t have the same ring to it.  Besides, where do you get confetti these days?  From your shredder, most likely, or go out and buy it.

For confetti throwers, there is an additional problem.  Most tall buildings in San Francisco have windows that don’t open.  So how do you litter the streets?  Ah, the problems of the ages.
