"the donkey"

Please, agree with me, this is funny. It is also my official joke of the day. Or the week. Because I don't think that I will get around to putting a joke up every single day:

The Donkey

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 needed to be covered up anyway, and... well, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all of his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well to cover the donkey.

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 looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw: as every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey 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 continue to shake it off and would take another step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up and out, over the edge of the well and trotted off.

The Moral:

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of your well is to shake off that dirt and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by no stopping, by never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

O.K., enough of that crap....

The donkey later came back, caught the farmer out in his field and kicked the crap out of him. Then he went over to each of the neighbors' farms and kicked the crap out of them, too for helping the farmer.

The REAL Moral:

When you try to cover your ass, it ALWAYS comes back to get you...

Yon sent that to me. It's one of the funnist things that I have read in a long time. Joshua told me a funnier joke earlier today, but I can't remember it. I will ask him to send me it. But if he's a good boyfriend, he would be reading this without me having to remind him, so he would would send me the joke without me having to ask him.

Now that's the perfect boyfriend.

Well, not quite. The perfect boyfriend would be Landon Carter. If only he could walk out of "A Walk to Remember." Because he's so sweet and he makes a lot of her little "to do list" things happen. I should make a to-do list, just because. I think I will, when I am bored enough.

I'm having so much trouble talking today. Everything is coming out all as one big ong word and then I am missing syllables.

I need some chips. Such is the life of someone trying to eat healthily. Yeah. That has been postponed indefinitely until "tomorrow." Understand?

I love Joshua.
