The Parable of the Fly
There was a fly buzzing around a barn one day when
he happened on a pile of fresh cow manure. Due to the fact that
it had been hours since his last meal, he flew down and began
to eat. He ate and ate and ate. Finally, he decided he had eaten
enough and tried to fly away. He had eaten too much though, and
could not get off the ground. As he looked around, wondering what
to do, he spotted a pitchfork leaning against the wall. He climbed
to the top of the handle and jumped off, thinking that once he
got airborne he would be able to take flight. Unfortunately, he
was wrong. He dropped like a rock, splattering against the floor.
The moral to the story: Never fly off the handle when you know
you're full of $hit.
