NOAH IN 2007
In the year 2007, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in
Canada , and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked
and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.
Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing
along with a few good humans."
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6
months to build the Ark before I will start the
unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in
his yard - but no Ark.
"Noah!" He roared , "I'm about to start the rain!
Where is the Ark ?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I
needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector
about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that
I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark
in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go
to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Hydro One demanded a bond be posted for the future
costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions,
to clear the passage for the Ark 's move to the sea.
I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would
hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting
local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to
convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save
the owls - but no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group
sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals
against their will. They argued the accommodation was too
restrictive , and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many
animals in a confined space.
Then the Ministry of the Environment ruled that I couldn't
build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact
study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights
Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my
building crew.
Immigration and Naturalization are checking the
Visa status of most of the people who want to
work.
The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have
to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, Revenue Canada seized all my assets,
claiming
I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered
species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10
years for me to finish this Ark. "
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine,
and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and asked,
"You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord.
"The government beat me to it."
