Off Topic: If you aren't interested in a fable, move on <g> << Just because someone spanks you doesn't mean they don't love you as well <G>. >> I was inspired to write this when I saw chucau2pt's crabbing <g> about "semi-lurkers" in another thread. There was once a sparrow who stayed north a little too late in the fall and got caught in a killing frost. The bird froze stiff and fell off his perch onto the road below. Just as the bird was about to expire, a cow came along and dumped a big ol' cow pie on the sparrow. "Oh, this is the ultimate insult," the bird thought. But after a few moments, the warmth of the dung began to thaw the sparrow out. The happy bird managed to pop his head out of the cow pie. "I'm so happy, I could sing all day!" he said, and he whistled a beautiful melody. Suddenly, he felt a slight tugging at his neck. "Hey, someone has come to get me ou..." but the sparrow was not able to finish his sentence before a fox swallowed him right up. There are three morals to this story: 1. Not everyone who dumps on you is your enemy. 2. Not everyone who pulls you out of the deep doo is your friend. 3. When you are up to your neck in it, sometimes the best thing to do is sit there and shut up! See ya. . .
