The lord said unto Noah..

Thanks everyone for making EA possible. There's so much work and organization that it's worth saying so from time to time. Anyone who has tried to orgaize any project should get a little cheer from the old morsel below....

Seems that some of the challenges are not new.....

And the Lord said unto Noah: "Where is the ark which I have

commanded thee build?"

And Noah said unto the Lord: "Verily, I have had three carpenters

off sick. The Gopher-wood supplier hath let me down-yea, even though the

gopher-wood hath been on order for nigh upon 12 months. What can I do, O

Lord?"

And the Lord said unto Noah: "I want that ark finished after seven

days and seven nights."

And Noah said: "It will be so."

But it was not so. And the Lord said unto Noah: "What seemeth to be

the trouble this time?"

And Noah said unto the Lord: "My subcontractor hath gone bankrupt.

The pitch which thou didst command me to put on the outside and on the

inside of the ark hath not arrived. Shem, my son who helpeth me on the

ark side of the business, hath formed a pop group with his brothers, Ham

and Japheth. Lord, I am undone."

And the Lord grew angry and said: "And what of the animals, the male

and female of every sort that I ordered to come unto thee to keep their

seed alive upon the face of the earth?"

And Noah said: "They have been delivered unto the wrong address, but

should arrive on Friday. "

And the Lord said: "How about the unicorns, and the fowls of the air

by sevens?"

And Noah wrung his hands and wept, saying: "Lord, unicorns are a

discontinued line. Thou canst not get them for love nor money. And the

fowls of the air are sold only in half-dozens. Lord, Lord, thou knowest

how it is."

And the Lord in his wisdom said: "Noah, my son, I know. Why else

dost thou think I have caused a Flood?"
