MINUTE MYSTERY # 2

Pity the Board of Directors of the Association for Useless Information (AUI)! Bogged down by membership applications, AUI's Board decided to tighten up the requirements for membership. All prospective members were told that they must produce one piece of completely useless information in order to join the Association. Twelve months after the rule change, the President of the Association's Board faces the harsh truth that since the change was implemented no one has been admitted into the Association.

Why has no one been been admitted for membership in AUI since the change in policy? Leave your guess in the "Comments" area below by clicking on the "Comments" link below.

...because all submissions would have 'use'. The 'use', or purpose, of the submission would be the attempt to gain membership into the association.

Did the asexual criminal write, "You are a member of the ėLogical Positivist Executioners Clubķ?" I'm thinking that I would have written the following statement of fact, "I am a male of the species homo sapiens." Unfortunately, your 'crook' didn't have a sex and I couldn't use the easy out in his/her written statement.
