Even the dog at the end pulling off the boxing glove. Either they were dense, or they didn’t want to make the song a martyr.

They could be dense.

One of the most popular forms of protest in the Czech Republic is ‘Švejking’ or švejkovina.

It works like this. Your superior tells to you unload a trailer full of bananas, but be careful so the bananas don’t get bruised. Of course, your super won’t assign any help to you - you have to do it yourself.

So you carefully unload the trailer……one banana at a time. And you carefully wrap each banana in bubblewrap. And then place no more than 10 bananas in a crate, with layers of bubblewrap surrounding them.

What should take you no more than a couple of hours will now take days on end. And you are following instructions, so your supervisor can’t complain.

It’s from the book “The Good Soldier Švejk” by Jaroslav Haᘞk.
