Phinny led our yearly conga line during a performance by a Latino band. Wrong choice. You can't just have anyone lead a conga line. Phinny was moving too fast and the old and infirm could not keep up. Plus, he allowed pets in the line, which made no sense. They wound up leaving the park and shimmying right into a traffic jam, which they only made worse.
Martha should have been leading that line. She had done it before and people trusted her. But Phinny's mom was President of the local Women's Club and pressured our mayor to give him the honor. Votes were at stake, so he caved.
The upshot was a dozen seniors collapsed from the heat and speed of conga moves and several pets ran off into the woods.
Lawsuits to follow.
