"An Esop Tale?"
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing
all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and
asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do
nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the
crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox
appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story is: To be sitting and doing
nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

"Who's in Charge?"
One day the different parts of the body were
having an argument to see which should be
in charge.
The brain said, "I do all the thinking so I'm the
most important and I should be in charge."
The eyes said, "I see everything and let the
rest of you know where we are, so I'm the
most important and I should be in charge."
The hands said, "Without me we wouldn't be
able to pick anything up or move anything. So
I'm the most important and I should be in charge."
The stomach said, "I turn the food we eat into
energy for the rest of you. Without me, we'd
starve. So I'm the most important, and I should
be in charge."
The legs said, "Without me, we wouldn't be
able to move anywhere. So I'm the most important,
and I should be in charge."
Then the rectum said, "I think I should be in charge."
All the rest of the parts said, "YOU?!? You don't
do anything! You're not important! You can't be
in charge."
So the rectum got offended and closed up.
After a few days, the legs were all wobbly, the
stomach was all queasy, the hands were all
shaky, the eyes were all watery, and the brain
was all cloudy. They all agreed that they couldn't
take any more of this and agreed to put the
rectum in charge.
Today's lesson: You don't have to be the most
important to be in charge, just an butthole.
