I realized a while ago that if you're discussing what "fair" means, it 
means there's no "fair" answer. Otherwise it would merely be the 
"obvious" answer.

I was outside an amusement park ride. The ticket taker let one bodacious 
babe in for free. The other bodacious babe complained it wasn't fair he 
didn't let *her* in for free if the other got in for free.

That's when I realized that "fair" doesn't exist.

Or, as Calvin said:
"Time for bed, Calvin."
     "How come you get to stay up late and I have to
      go to bed? It isn't fair!"
"Life isn't fair, Calvin."
     "I know. How come it's not unfair in my favor more often?"
