Does God have a Sense of Humor, I beleave so!!

The Lord spke to Noah and "Noah, in six months i am going to make it rain until the whole world is covered with twater and all the evil thinkgs and destroyed. But, I want to save a few good people and two of every living thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build an ark." And, in a flash of lighting, he delivered the specifications for the ark.

"OK," Noah said, trmbling with fear and fumbling with the blueprints, "I'm your man."

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

Six months passed, the sky began to cloud up, and the rain began to to fall in torrents. The Lord looked down and saw Noah sitting in his yard, weeping, and there was no ark.

"Noah!" shouted the Lord, "where is my ark?" A lighting bolt crashed into the ground right beside Noah.

"Lordm please forgive me!" begged Noah. "Idid my best, but there were some big problems. First had to get a building permit for the ark's construction, but your plans did not meet their code. So, i had to hire an engineer to redo the plans, only to get into a long argument with him about whether to include a fire-sprinkler system.

"My neighbors objected, claiming that I was violating zoning ordinances by building the ark in my front yard, so i had to get a variance from the city planning boards."

Then I had a big problem getting wood for the ark, becuase there was a ban on cuttin trees to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the evironmentalists and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that I needed the wood to save the owls, but they wouldn't let me catch them, so no owls."

"Next I started gathering up the animals but got sued by the animal rights group that objected to me taking along only two of each kind."

"Just when the suit got dismissed, the EPA notified me that i couldn't complete the ark without filing an environmental impact statment 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 Corps of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed flood plan. I sent them a globe!"

"Right now I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission over how many minorities I'm supposed to hire."

With that, the sky cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow arched across the sky.

Noah loooked up and smiled. "You mean you are not going to destroy the world?" he asked hopefully.

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