Noah in Modern TImes

Here's a funny modern day take on Noah's Ark. It's just for a laugh, so please don't take it too seriously :)

And the Lord spoke to Noah & said: "In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water & all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of living thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build Me an Ark."

And in a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for the Ark.

"OK," said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints.

"Six months, and it starts to rain, "thundered the Lord. "You'd better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time."

And six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark.

"Noah," shouted the Lord, "where is my Ark?" A lighting bolt crashed to the ground next to Noah.

"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best. But there were big problems.

First I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans.

Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system.

My neighbors objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.

Then I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince U.S.Fish and Wildlife that I needed wood to save the owls. But they wouldn't let me catch any owls. So no owls.

Then the carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have 16 carpenters going on the boat and still no owls.

Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind.

Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being.

Then the Army Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.

Right now I'm still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I'm supposed to hire, the IRS has seized all my assets claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the state about owing some kind of use tax.

I really don't think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years," Noah wailed.

The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky.

Noah looked up and smiled. "You mean you're not going to destroy the earth?" Noah asked, hopefully.

"No," said the Lord sadly, "The government already has."

Fw: This is how a stimulus package works...

It is a slow day in the small Montana town
of Pumphandle, and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and
everybody is living on credit. A tourist visiting
the area drives through town, stops at the motel,
and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants
to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the
night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel
owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay
his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the
$100 and runs down the street to retire his debt
to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100
and heads off to pay his supplier, the Co-op. The
guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay
his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been
facing hard times and has had to offer her
"services" on credit. The hooker rushes to the
hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel
owner. The hotel proprietor then places the $100
back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect
anything. At that moment the traveler comes down
the stairs, states tat the rooms are not satisfactory,
picks up the $100 bill and leaves. No one produced
anything. No one earned anything... However, the
whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the
future with a lot more optimism. And that, ladies
and gentlemen, is how a stimulus package works.
