I went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, and noticed that the sugar bowl was empty, so I got the bag of sugar out of the cupboard. As I was doing this, a guy in a suit picked up the empty sugar bowl, looked at it, shook it, looked puzzled, and put it down again. Then I poured sugar out of the bag into the bowl. He looked surprised. "Thank you for doing the sugar," he said. "It's a good job somebody does it."

Actually it reminds me of the Other (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wechsler/451478.html) Great Cry Of Our Times:

1) State boldly and in a tone of righteous indignation: "Someone should do something".

2) Wander off and watch "I'm a celebrity".

Something must be done.
This is something.
