Fw: [Hells-Geriatrics] Groaner du jour

[Guest guest]

(Found it floating on the 'Net, name of author not given - MM)A Royal family that had been deposed and exiled was shipwrecked on a deserted island and one of the very few things they were able to salvage from the wreck was the Royal Throne. After several days of scratching, they were finally successful in building a shelter out of fronds and grass and it even had an attic into which they stored their beloved throne. After a few days, there came a tropical storm and the high winds resulted in the throne tumbling down from the attic and destroying the table and chairs they had made from similar materials found on the island. The moral or the story: People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.<*>
