...regard a university as a factory, then it might build its reputation on either of its two products: alumni or research. In practice, producing alumni is a tricky and unrewarding business, for there is no practical method of evaluating a young alumnus, nor of telling whether his quality is produced in college or in some other manner.

Then somebody else comes in and complains about his wife, while nobody (either onstage or in the audience) listens. Then two musicians sing a song, and that's all. At the end, none of the characters is any better off than before, and neither is the audience...
