Bringing Down the House
In the Hall of Conquerors
Late one night, I found myself in a mystery, I knew not why. It seemed I was invited, perhaps to record the event I thought, I was not sure. I was in a great hall and there were statues of great men all along a grand richly appointed corridor.
A voice rose up and with august dignity announced the great deeds of one famous man after another who each gave a short speech highlighting his famous accomplishments. There was Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Winstin Churchill, a seemingly endless array of the greatest men all through history, remembered by everyone for their great victories.
Then my name was called! Everyone turned to look at me, everyone! There was nothing for it but to stand in front of them all to remind them of my greatest achievement in the history of men, greater than any man that had gone before.
I paid compliments to all the great things that they had described before. Then I spoke with great pride and confidence,I kissed Peggy Davis!
