A funny story

When I was a small child. I was given a small model of Noah’s Ark that came with six wooden animals. Two lions, two alligators, and two giraffes. At the time I thought six animals was more then enough to save the world. I didn’t need anything more complicated.

So I was sitting in the living room playing happily with my small animals and eventually decided I needed to load them onto the ark. First, the giraffes that fit nicely in the wooden structure. So I moved on to the alligators that also seemed to fit just right. I was very pleased by this.

This is where I encountered a small problem.

Apparently the makers of this ark had made a fatal design flaw. You see, you could only fit four of the animals onto the boat. No matter how many ways I attempted to stuff the two wooden lions into the ark they simply would not go in. This ruined my perception on god. I was very angry and decided god had lied to me and threw away the whole idea of religion.

So I had been a good Catholic for four years.
