OOC:
The half-sentence story thread has been condemned by the Grammar Committee, and its contents have been reassembled here. The story will continue in the way that might work: one sentence per post, not half or three-quarters of a sentence.
There are only two rules, neither of which is enforceable:
>>Delete your post if you discover that you've collided with someone else's. Otherwise, the next poster will have to choose which thread to pick up.
>>Respect the format. Don't tell an entire story that's punctuated like one sentence but should have been six sentences. The fun in these threads is that each person provides the hint of a direction, and gets to see what someone else did with it.
This is the opposite of a closed thread, so enjoy.

In the Maldives, on an island called Makunudu, in the branches of a banyan tree, there lived a mystical and ancient individual with long white hair and the most amazingly infectious giggle ever heard. There were days when no one on the island did anything but laugh, despite the fact that, most of the time, on an island named Makundu, in the Maldives, there really wasn't much to giggle about. Not since the Tsunami's had hit, killing many of the villagers and wiping out their crops, supplies and homes.
The mystical and ancient individual with long white hair gathered the small band of those who had survived together and said, "A duck, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar..."
Interrupting a duck joke was unheard-of on Makunudu, {courtesy edit here} and the village was in dire straits.
A lone woman stood up to challenge the ancients athourity, "This is no time for joke old man" she said.
