After the Great Flood was over, Noah gently eased the Ark down on top of a Turkish mountain range. Once everything was secured, he got off and personally supervised the release of the animals on board. As each pair was released from the hold to go hopping, crawling and fluttering away, Noah said to them, "Go forth and multiply!"

At one point, a pair of snakes came slithering down the ramp together. Noah addressed them as he had all the others: "Go forth and multiply!" The snakes looked at one another in embarassment, and then replied, "We can't. We're adders."

Well, this set Noah to thinking. He bid the snakes to wait there for a little while. Then he went down to the hold, gathered up his carpentry tools (left over from the big Ark-building endeavor 40 days and nights ago, I suppose), and then set off into the forest. He returned later dragging along a bunch of fallen logs.

Then there was furious activity: Noah was sawing, planing, hammering away at the logs. When he was finished, he presented to the snakes a newly built, rough-hewn table. Then he said to them again, "Go forth and multiply!"

"But we're adders!" the snakes moaned. Noah said, "Yes, but I've just built you a log table!"

I'm sorry, but I saw that one coming from a mile away.....

You are now in the same rarified company as "Doctor Stocahstic" as being a purveyor of some of the worst puns ever to grace FR. Your contributiuons in this regard are, if I may be so bold as to say so, without equal. Congratulations!

;-)
