But, But, But...
Just lately a group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were 
standing in the lobby
discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour the 
manager came out of
the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they 
moved off.
"Because", the manager said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an 
open foyer."
