   In eighty-four years, I've seen the federal government throw   
   many tantrums, but it has never once shut down.   
      
   On one memorable occasion, it posted guards around a park   
   that had no fence or gate, saying there was no budget for   
   allowing people to walk across it.  Unfortunately, I don't   
   remember enough details that I could look up the when and   
   where.
