Ted: I'm serious. I'm not getting dumped in that lake anymore. And I talked to the other Teds in town, and they're not doing it either.
Leslie Knope: Come on, Ted Party Day is protected by Article Two in the town charter. And we have the right, nay, the obligation, to dump Ted into the lake every year. That's the way it's always been done.
Ted: Okay, first of all, "That's the way it's always been done" is not a good reason to keep doing something. Second, it was a misprint. They clearly meant "tea."
Leslie Knope: I just think you need to be careful about speculating what the Founders meant when they were writing the town charter.
