"You might laugh?but this mission is one of the most difficult you will face. Many have stumbled, carrying out this task in the past. Many have failed. But it's down to you now. I know you've got it in you all. I know you can do it." He leaned forward on his podium, trying to tread the tone-line between avuncular and leaderish. Then he pointed to the plain white board behind him.
"You've all got your marker pens. Now, let's see who can come up with an eye-related pun that's actually FUNNY this week."
