Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

My 12-year-old daughter wants to know if she should steal Taylor Swift's cat. Will this get her in People Magazine or, better yet, could she leverage it to get tickets for her upcoming concert?

Answer:

"He hath a lady, wiser, fairer, truer,
Than ever Greek did couple in his arms"
(Troilus and Cressida 1.3.275-76)

Interpretation:

Hmmm...a competitive smack-down between the Trojans and the Greeks that all started with a guy's inappropriate obsession with someone else's wife. I hear you, Shake-Ball. Icks-nay on the alking-stay.
