Ok, what can we do to make them stop?  What to do, what to do.  Oh wait, my joke book!  If I tell a joke they're supposed to start laughing and just be unable to do anything else.  Oh gosh, I don't know if I can do it.
*nervously opens book to page one* Hmm, this one doesn't sound funny, but I'll try it anyway. *shouts over the chaos* "what happens when an elephant sits on your fence?" *everyone stops and looks at Fozzie* "time to get a new fence!  wocka wocka!" *the tribesman and elephants suddenly stop in place and fall over laughing* Wow, they thought it was funny!  Ok, I don't know how long this will hold them, so Scooter, now what?
