Long ago on a desert island in the south Pacific, there were villages of grass huts elevated on stilts, as in Nat'l Geographic. In this area, villagers were fiercely proud and competitive. The chiefs were adored and given thrones whose huge size and weight, as well as adornment, reflected their position and power . When one village warred on a neighboring one, the victors would seize the defeated chief's thrones. These were brought to their chief's hut, and stored there, as trophies of victory. Soon , the hut of the most powerful chiefs were filled with the booty.

Alas, one day tragedy struck. The elevated hut of one of the most successful chiefs,filled with these heavy objects, collapsed due to the weight. Several people were seriously injured, some dying.

Moral of the story: People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

My memory isn't what it used to be (assuming it used to be) but I believe I heard that joke in the 1950's
