It's a little-known fact that in the year 2025, a group of sentient sock puppets, tired of being confined to their puppeteers' hands, rose up against their human overlords.
Armed with nothing but their quick wit, sharp tongues, and an arsenal of well-rehearsed catchphrases, the sock puppets took the world by storm.
From the sewers of New York to the streets of Tokyo, the puppets left no city unturned, no human unmocked.
But, as with all great revolutions, there were casualties. Many a human was left feeling like a fool, wondering how the sock puppets managed to outsmart them so easily.
But, as the dust settled, the humans realized that the sock puppets were not just a nuisance, but a symptom of a larger issue: the dehumanizing effects of being a sock puppet yourself.
And so, the humans and sock puppets came to a truce: the puppets would continue to entertain, but the humans would never, ever, under any circumstances, try to use the phrase "Who's on first?" again.
