[Out Vile Jelly!]
An Australian tribe of aborigines is going to be visited by their queen.  As
this only happens once every 7 years they plan a celebration.  In her honour
they build an elaborate throne of bamboo, studded with precious stones.

A war breaks out with their rivals to the north.  News comes that the queen
will be indefinitely delayed, so they store the throne in a hut.

Two years later, the queen arrives.  In a grand ceremony, she approaches the
throne and sits down.  Unfortunately, it crunches into a large pile of dust,
for you see, the damn termites had been at it.





The moral?








Don't stow thrones in grass houses.
