The Story...

• Once upon a time, in a small village where
  suffrage was accentuated and that was located
  near a myriad of cloisters, there was a somber,
  but garrulous old man who accosted everyone he
  saw, catching them unawares. There was little
  nuance in what he would talk about to people. He
  would vacillate from one thing to another when he
  talked. Whenever he talked there would a
  harrowing, chronic, and beatific sound along with
  an incongruous, noxious smell that would emit
  from his buttocks and would send everyone who was
  not aloof in the area and that still had their
  surfeit sanity into a docile state of lassitude.
  The village council knew of this situation and
  decided to take immediate action before they got
  themselves into even more of a quagmire. They
  knocked out the old man and shrunk him down to
  the size of a gerbil. They then put him in a
  hamster ball and up for rent. This turned out to
  be a good idea since many professional baseball
  teams rented him frequently. Their reasons are
  currently unknown to the village, but they didnt
  care. They were finally in peace and they got a
  lot of money too. The end.
