Standing Ovations

I hate standing ovations! It's one of the few instances that you can offend by doing nothing. It takes just one person to stand up and applaud something, and before you know it, everybody around you is doing the same. All of a sudden, you have a decision to make. Either fall in line and get up, or look like an ass to everyone for just sitting down. I say we make impromptu standing ovations illegal. Just like there are "no smoking" signs posted outside businesses and venues, there should be "no impromptu standing ovations" signs. I can picture it already; two silhouettes gesturing an applause with a black line drawn across it. That would be great! I think you should be the first to sign my petition to make this into a law.
