In a flash God gave Noah the specifications. In fear, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark. God said to Noah, "I'll return in One year"
Exactly one year later, God spoke to Noah again. "Noah why are you upset? and where is the ark?" Noah replied "Lord forgive me, I did my best, but there were problems. First I had to hire an engineer in order to meet the codes. Then I got into a fight with OSHA over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system, and flotation devices. Then my neighbor got upset claiming I as violating zoning by building the ark in my yard. So I had to get a variance. Then I had problems gettrng enough wood, because of the ban on cutting trees because of the owls homes. I finally convinced them. Then they wouldn't let me have owls. So no owls. The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to make an agreement with them. Now I have 16 carpenters and an ark with no owls. When I was rounding up the animals, I got sued bu the animal rights group. Then I had to fill out forms for and environmental impact statement on the flood. Then the army of engineers demanded a map of the proposed new flood plain. Right now I'm still trying to resolve other complaints, including a discrimination suit because I won't take any Godless people with me. The IRS has seized my assets, claiming I'm building the ark to flee the country and avoid paying taxes. And I owe some sort of user tax and that I failed to register the ark as a watercraft. Finally the ACLU got the courts to issue an injunction against further construction of ehe ark, saying that since God in flooding the earth it is a religious event and therefore unconstitutional. I really dont think I can finish this even if you gave me 5 years."
The sky cleared the rain stopped. Noad said "You mean Your not going to destroy the earth" God replied "No, I don't have to, the government already has."
