this will make them cry
Two Different Versions................. Two Different Morals OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself! MODERN VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving. CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood. The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010. I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant not a grasshopper! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants. Don't bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it anyway. |

I'm old, ugly, poor and thousands of miles from Sember... Getting her “turned on” does me no good. |

Who's Sember ? Depending on who she is, experience tells me that she'd NOT be interested in ****ing me. Me “trying to gain” has nothing to do with it. Besides, I'm not interested. |

My grandson Kevin told me yesterday that I will be a great grandfather in 7 months. I now have something to live for. I still like looking at pretty girls. Still have a picture of Sunbeam and she looks just like Kerry Russell Pee- Air and I just have our memories. I will be 82 on Febuary 9. Have lived 16 months with no house water. Have had little rain for 4 months. Severn Trent Water is doing its best to kill me. Sheriff Bob Hansel still has his goose stepping deputies causing me much grief. Had to change my phone number. All this can only happen now that America is 100% fascist. People giving congress an F rate. Obama a one termer. Godfather 10 People 0 TreBert |

I'm not big on memories, Bert, I prefer to think of the future. 16 months with no house water is amazing, you've done well, considering. Also, you've done well with no WebTV... I hope you're enjoying Google. Happy birthday to you and your future GREAT grandson. How many kids, grand·kids and great·grand·kids do you have ? |
