3. NOBODY DID IT
There is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody,
and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do.
Anybody could have done it. Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody
wouldn’t do it.
Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody,
so Everybody blamed Somebody.
But still NOBODY DID IT !!!
