Fountainhead Babysitting Service (not really a book report on The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand) "Hello. Is this the Fountainhead Babysitting Service?" "Yes." "We need a babysitter for tonight." "Why?" "We're going to the movies." "Movies are a mindless distraction from reality." "But we're going to see Shrek." "You should be spending your time in profitable work." "I worked all day. Now we're going out to relax." "You must give of your all, exploding in a paroxysm of creation, only to rise again from exhaustion to begin the promethean act of creation anew." "I install sinks." "Oh." "So, you come highly recommended, but I just want to ask you a few questions." "Very well." "What will you do if the baby starts crying?" "Endeavor to explain that crying is contrary to a life of rational self-interest." &qu
