The Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things
Toastmaster: Gentlemen, pray silence for the President of the Royal Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things.
Sir William: I thank you, gentlemen. This year has been a good one for the Society. This year our members have put more things on top of other things than ever before. But, I should warn you, this is no time for complacency. No, there are still many things, and I can not emphasize this too strongly, not on top of other things. I myself, on my way here this evening, saw a thing that was not on top of another thing in any way.
Voice: Shame.
Sir William: Shame indeed, but we must not allow ourselves to become too despondent for we must never forget that if there was not one thing that was not on top of another thing our Society would be nothing more than a meaningless body of men that had gathered together for no good purpose. But we flourish. This year, our Australasian members and the various organisations affiliated to our Australasian branches put no fewer than twenty-two things on top of other things (applause). Well done, all of you. But there is one cloud on the horizon. In this last year our Staffordshire branch has not succeeded in putting one thing on top of another. Therefore, I call upon our Staffordshire delegate to explain this weird behaviour.
Mr. Cutler: Er, Cutler, Staffordshire. Um... well, Mr Chairman, it's just that most of the members in Staffordshire feel... the whole thing's a bit silly (cries of outrage).
Sir William: Silly? SILLY? (pauses and thinks) Silly! I suppose it is, a bit. What have we been doing wasting our lives with all this nonsense? Right, okay, meeting adjourned for ever.
