There's a tribe in Africa that believes that when each Chieftain dies, that
his seat of office must be preserved to honor his memory. As you might
imagine, it wasn't too long before they had these chairs all over the place,
around the cooking pits, stacked up behind their thatch huts, etc. It was
getting to be so much of a problem that some tribesmen were adding a second
story to their huts, just to hold the chairs.

Predictably, the first good windstorm knocked the second stories down, crushing
the people below. Which just goes to show that those who live in grass houses
shouldn't stow thrones.
