It has a horrid time.

    When in the course of time the Upper Crust becomes too rich and heavy for the popular

    taste, the Social Pie flops over and the Under Crust becomes the Upper Crust.

    These periodic flip-flops of the Social Pie are called Revolutions.

    You would think that a Revolving Pie would be a disturbing thing to have in one’s system, but the Giddy Globe doesn’t seem to mind it in the least.
