Trouble is, this could be extended to almost any activity, such as voting, buying alcohol, buying illegal drugs, getting paid, withdrawing cash from a hole-in-the-wall, getting married, having sex, talking to a stranger, drinking coffee, getting out of bed in the morning. The whole of Human society would be gradually come to be dominated by concentrated form-filling. People would spend their lives filling in forms. Industrial capacity would be turned over to paper recycling, printing of forms, and manufacture of pencils. Soon, there would be a hierarchy of forms. Before you could get out of bed in the morning, you would need to fill in form K77853b "test of awareness of trip hazards in a semi-somnolent state". but, before you could fill in form K77853b you would need to first fill in form K77853a "test of knowledge of form-filling protocols whilst lying down". And before that, there would be a requirement to have taken the spoken test (via phone app) T336h4 "test of knowledge of safety issues to do with pencil use". |

They do that here for a lot of different areas of life.
Schools, sports, breathing... |

Every club should provide a test at every table: 'Do you have what it takes to screw?' The winners are announced as soon as they finish, and the orgy is then cordoned off from regular club-goers. |
