I was just given something at work that I wanted to share with y'all:
In the Beginning-
God created heaven and the earth. Quickly he was faced with a class
action lawsuit for failure to file an environmental impact statement. He
was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with the
cease and desist order for the earthly part.
Appearing at the hearing, God was asked why he began his earthly
project in the first place. He replied that he just liked to be
creative.
Then, God said, "Let there be light", and immediately the officials
demanded to know how the light would be made. Would there be strip
mining? What about thermal pollution? God explained that the light
would come from a huge ball of fire. God was granted provisional
permission to make light, assuming that no smoke would result from the
ball of fire; that he would obtain a building permit; and to conserve
energy, would have the light out half of the time. God agreed, and said
he would call the light "day" and the darkness "night". Officials
replied that they were not interested in semantics.
God said "Let the earth bring forth green herb and such as many
seed". The EPA agreed, so long as native seed was used. Then, God
said, "Let waters bring forth creeping creatures having life; and the
fowl that may fly over the earth". Officials pointed out that this
would require approval from the Department of Game coordinated with the
Heavenly Wildlife Federation and the Audobongelic Society.
Everything was ok, until God said that he wanted to complete the
project in six days. Officials said that it would take at least 200
days to review the application and impact statement. After that there
would be a public hearing. Then, there would be 10 to 12 months
before...
At this point, God created Hell.
