                The Legend of the King & Fisherman

                The palace meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of rain
                so, the king and the queen went fishing.

                On the way, he met a man with a fishing pole riding on a donkey, and

                he asked the man if the fish were biting. The fisherman said, "Your
                Majesty, you should return to the palace. In just a short time I
                expect a huge rainstorm."

                The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He

                is an educated and experienced professional. Besides, I pay him very
                high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him." So,
                the king continued on his way.

                However, in a short time, torrential rain fell from the sky. The King

                and Queen were totally soaked. Furious, the king returned to the
                palace and gave the order to execute the meteorologist.

                Then he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious

                position of royal forecaster.

                The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about

                forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my
                donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."

                So, the king hired the donkey.


                And so began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential

                positions of government.


                The practice continues to this day.

                          A recent visit to Brighton, on arrival l asked a lady for directions to my hotel; and she said it's only a stone's throw away.

                          I said will l recognize it?

                          She replied - it's the one with all the broken windows.

                            A man wanted to build up his fitness. He saw an advert offering a rapid transformation from couch potato to elite athlete. Two options were offered. There was the standard option, for £35 per session, or the premium option for £70 per session. He signed up for the standard option.

                            The next morning, dressed ready for a run, there was a knock at the door. His personal trainer was here. He opened the door to a beautiful athletic young woman. She proclaimed, if you can catch me, you can do whatever you want with me, then immediately turned and started running. The man chased her but every time he closed the distance, she would just effortlessly speed up.

                            This happened every morning for six weeks. Each time the man would get within a few feet of catching her but just couldn't quite do it. But he did notice his fitness improving rapidly.

                            Spurred on by his progress, and how tantalising close he was to winning his prize. He decided to splash out and upgrade to the premium service. Excited about the day ahead, in the morning, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door to the biggest, most grizzly man he'd ever seen. Surprised it wasn't his usual personal trainer, he asked the man what he wanted. The man replied, 'you upgraded to premium, you start running, if I catch you, you're mine to do whatever I want with you', and gave a big cheesy grin. The customer achieved his best ever running performance that day.
