“Let’s celebrate that we don’t burn women anymore.”
“Sure. How should we do that?”
“Let’s burn a woman.”
“What?! No! That’s a horrible way.”
“Oh. Okay. Then let’s burn a doll.”

Actually, we can find this tradition in many cultures. In some cases it was a way to get rid of evil spirits. After a certain ritual spirit occupies a doll, doll is burned (or teared apart), spirit leaves to the land of dead. Everyone is happy 🙂
