Could you help me to improve the dialog?

Today, I want to tell a funny story to my friends. However, after talking of it, nobody really understands it. Could some experts help me to correct it? How to make it more interesting?

“I saw an image on internet. It is so funny. There is a ceiling fan in the room. Since it is never used in winter, they did not consider how it works in principle. They built a stick in the middle of two fan blades to hold a new projector. Now in summer, the ceiling fan can not be used at all.”

Thank you very much.

This might help a little bit: I saw a funny image on the internet: there's a ceiling fan in the room, but since it is never used in winter, they don't realize what it is. They put a stick between the fan blades to hold a projector, so in summer the fan can not be used at all!
