The Great Wall of China
One day, a very bored person started stacking plates. Lots of plates. Lots and lots of plates.
Then what?
When he ran out of plates, he started using saucers because those stack well too. Saucers from China.
And then?
He bought more plates and saucers, until he was broke. Then he stacked all of these into the wall too.
But why?
Do you want to hear about the completion of the wall or not?
Ok, but
No butts were used in the making of the wall. It was a wall of CHINA!
Ok I won't interrupt any more
So anyways, he went out and bought more plates and saucers until the wall was taller than he was. So he started making it longer instead. Then he went broke. So he stacked his only remaining china, the tea cups and tea pots, on the wall. Today he is standing on a random street corner with a cardboard sign that reads "Need Cups, Plates and Saucers".
