The taps in my house have gone on strike. One spurts an occassional blub-ful of water, like a faulty Merlion. The other drips at varied speeds. Another doesn't function as a tap - no water comes out.
(How do you define a tap? By function or by appearance?)
I think the sorry tap condition is quite the mirror of how exams drain everything. Brain fluid en masse. It doesn't help that coffee is such a diuretic. It's actually the coffee's fault, but we should blame exams nonetheless, the way it's so much easier to blame the government for coming up with faulty policies than to admit failure on the individual's part.
(I think this is subconscious propaganda...)
Now everything has to be parenthesised because there is no one definition for anything, and there has to be a disclaimer for everything.
