You want to save the duck, you need to save the lake. You want to save the lake, you need to raise money. You want to raise money, you need to find some ninny to be man of the year.

A funny chain of reasoning: to save the duck you must save the lake, to save the lake you need money, and to get money you need a fool to be honoured as man of the year. Each step leads to the last, and the punchline is 'ninny'.
