140 Minutes of the Secret Society of Secrets Appraisal-for-Secrets-Release Society — Part 2

Now, the Minutes from last meeting of the Secret Society of Secrets-Appraisal-for-Secrets-Release Society, SSSASRS or, "Scissors."

There was a motion on the floor that the following secrets be released to the general public, to wit:

There really are UFOs, Elvis isn't dead, COVID-28 will be here early, and the Speaker of the House is from Louisiana.

Passed by acclamation--with an amendment to release the other secret--that the Speaker of the House should never be from Louisiana.

Also approved for release, the Illuminati have discovered anti-electricity, Elon Musk has been kicked out of the Illuminati, there is an 11th Commandment about Bill Cosby, Donald Trump can't take a joke, Joe Biden can't get a joke, a guy in Akron just can't catch a break, there are other fish in the sea, the Dalai Lama and the Pope bowl regularly, women are from Venus, but men are from Uranus, and Hitler was never right.

Yes, Mr. Secretary?

"I'd like to point out that the secret about Hitler never having been right was amended to include the qualifier that it goes without saying. I also insist we make it part of the record that you introduced a qualm that some terrible things whose consequences go without saying--go--anyway, unless they're said again and again."

Would you like to put that into a motion?

"Nah. Goes without saying."

Moving on. That brings us to where New Business can resume, that is, the release of the secret that...

"Excuse me, Point of Information."

Yes?

"We released the secret that women are from Venus and men are from Uranus, but we didn't include the amendment that Marjorie Taylor Greene is from Mars."

Is that a motion?

"Nah, that also goes without saying."

Order! Order! Settle down. That is no laughing matter! Thank you. Now, for the final matter of Old Business, Mortality Procurement: You really can take it with you.

Any discussion? No? Ayes? Motion carries.

"Here here!"

Now, New Business--the motion on the floor that the just-released secret, you really can take it with you, be amended that the other secret--that you also take other people's stuff with you--never be released.

"Except their organs."

Agreed! Goes without saying.
