'Now, We Just Need to Convince You to Stay Shut Down'

   Went a protesting, I did. Went down to the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, and, being allowed no further than the public sidewalks, held up signs saying:
   "This might be a good idea you came up with, shutting yourself down."
   "Support the government shutdown. This is our chance to show we don't need so much government."
   "It turns out, we're doing fine without you."
   "Now, we just need to convince you to stay shut down."
   "Everything you can do, we can do better. Stay closed, and let's see if this works."
   "Please don't reopen. At least not soon. Give us a chance to see how much we like this."
   "If you didn't walk out, we were going to lock you out, anyway. (Just kidding, but don't hurry back.)"
   The idea for the last one was the idea of someone at work, though I cannot remember who to give credit to.
