I got this in an email and thought it was really funny, and also sad, because it's so true. If it's been posted before, I apologize.

In the year 2006, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the
United States, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and
over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build anotherArk and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans." He
gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark
before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard
- but no Ark.
"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed a
building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need
for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood
zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height
limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a
decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the
future costs of moving power lines and other overh ead obstructions, to
clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the
sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local
trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.
They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and
inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted
an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission
on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.

Immigra tion and Naturalization is checking the green-card status of most
of the people who want to work. The trades unions say I can't use my sons.
They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying
to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me,
Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow
stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're
not going to destroy the world?"

"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

:rofl:

HAHA

:bump This is pretty funny, so I thought I'd give a few more people a chance to read it.

:lol:

that's funny, true, and sad, all at the same time!

Noah's Ark in 2006:D

:lol: I actually posted that in the chit chat section a few months back. Absolutely hilarious, while at the same time kind of sad, since it's so true.

I thought it looked familiar when I first read it.

I missed that when Brad posted it so this is the first time I saw it. Very Funny :lol:

I thought it looked familiar when I first read it.

Hardly anyone checked it out when I posted it, so hopefully more people will get a chance to see it here. It's one of the funniest, and truest things Iv'e read in a long long time. This world has sure gotten screwed up in so many ways, and this just proves it, while being funny at the same time.

That was mildly amusing. :grr:

This has actually been posted a couple times. Once by me as a matter of fact. It is very funny, and sadly, very true in many ways.

so witty, and so true.
