Imagine Our chagrin (I’m using the WLBOTT Royal “We” here) when I asked Elder G to do some simple orbital perturbation calculations on a lesser moon of Jupiter, when s/he said:
You’re not the boss of me.
Then s/he said
I wish I could, but I don’t want to.
Elder G was watching a Hallmark Cyber Christmas movie at the time.
S/he even “shushed” us during the romantic climax.
What’s going on? We later learned that Fred, our Intern Penitent, had hacked Elder G’s code so that he could have a buddy to hang out with.
Their social media posts gave them away.
The WLBOTT Ministry of Social Media Oversight soon learned of Fred’s shenanigans, and alerted the Elders, as well as Sister Magdalena.
Busted!
But this did leave Sister M and the Elders in a difficult position: they had to suppress their laughter and feign sternness.
The Punishment Phase
Fred and Elder G must:
- Demonstrate, in front of the Elders Why whoopee cushions are not funny.
- Analyze the environmental impacts of Whoopee Cushions.
- Using charts, diagrams, and a minimum of 128 PowerPoint slides.
They are required to keep straight faces.
Punishment energy: Philosophical torture
Hidden lesson: Comedy resists repression
