An Aesop Moment

General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everyt

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well was dry and needed to be covered up anyway.

It just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey, so he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!

---------------------«PAUSE»---------------------

The donkey later came back and kicked THE CR~AP out of the farmer that tried to bury him.

And the MORAL is:

WHEN YOU TRY TO COVER YOUR ■■■, IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO GET YOU!

Wow good joke. (:CLP) Made me laugh ;D

#3

I though… the moral of the story is…

“…a trouble is nothing but a steping stone to your future success…”

…and the saying goes…
…just like the donkey; shake your head, and take the lesson from it…

I hope comicfan2000 reads this. He might want to try this with his mother-in-law. Just remember to tie her legs first. ;D

Paul is working in his store when he hears a booming voice from above: “Paul, sell your business.” He ignores it. It goes on for days. “Paul, sell your business for $3 million.” After weeks of this, he relents, sells his store. The voice says ‘Paul, go to Las Vegas." He asks why. “Paul, take the $3 million to Las Vegas.” He obeys, goes to a casino. Voice says, “Paul , go to the blackjack table and put it down all on one hand.” He hesitates but knows he must. He’s dealt an 18. The dealer has a six showing. “Paul, take a card.” What? The dealer has – “Take a card!” He tells the dealer to hit him. Paul gets an ace. Nineteen. He breathes easy. “Paul, take another card.” What? “TAKE ANOTHER CARD!” He asks for another card. It’s another ace. He has twenty. “Paul, take another card,” the voice commands. I have twenty! Paul shouts. “TAKE ANOTHER CARD!!” booms the voice. Hit me,Paul says. He gets another ace. Twenty one. The booming voice goes: “un-f***ing-believable!”

How do you catch a Polar Bear??

Well, I’m glad you asked. First, you cut a hole in the ice (like you were gonna go fishin’, see)… then you take some frozen peas and place them along the outside of the circle you cut, get it?. Of course now you need to hide somewhere close by, and when the bear comes along to take a pea, you kick him in the “Ice hole”.

:smiley: ;D

Yes, I know; Thank You!! Thank You!! you’re all so kind. (chuckle, grin)

[c]War Status[/c]
This Morning in the Oval Office Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President. Rumsfeld informed President Bush that three Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq.

To the president’s staffs amazement all of the color ran from his face, he then collapsed on his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, and almost whimpering.

After composing himself, George Bush leaned over to Rumsfeld and asked, “Donny, just exactly how much is a brazillion?”

Enjoy - Rm.
