This thread (beginning with the tunnel incident and continuing with the perpetual discussion about the Rebbe being Moshiach) reminds me of this story that I recently read:
In a certain country the government had to keep the prisoners busy, and therefore they would be put to work every day all day.
On one floor, the job for the prisoners was to replace buttons on army uniforms, and on the other prisoners were in charge of removing buttons from old unusable uniforms to give to those putting buttons.
After a couple weeks, there was no more work left to do for the army, and the warden was worried that riots would break out if the prisoners were bored, so he came up with a brilliant idea.
Every day, the clothes would move from one floor to the other, some would put buttons and some would remove, on the same army suits… and that’s how they kept busy week after week, year after year….
