This is pretty good, and very true.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass good-bye.

this joke sucks.

who would say it's shameful for an old man to let a young one walk while he rides a donkey? is an old man able to carry a donkey? what sort of laws of physics were at play when the donkey fell of the bridge? how can one grip a donkey?

Who said it was a joke? Maybe I'm a Donkeyishna and these are words of wisdom from my holy book the Donkeyish. Now you have insulted me and the Donkeyish dictates that I hunt you down and kill you with a spoon.

it seems the whole story is a setup for the pun in the last sentence. both the story and the pun suck.

i think it's time to rethink your belief system/look for a different guru.

different story, similar humor :
a devout religious person was standing up to his knees in water as a man walks by and says to him : "The water is rising! Better hurry and go to the dry land now!"
rp: "Thank you, but I believe in The Lord and He shall save me!"

a little while later the guy is up to his belly in the water and a guy in a boat passes him : "Climb aboard and I'll get you to a dry place!"
rp :"Thank you, but I believe in The Lord and He shall save me!"

again later, the guy is on the roof on his house as the water is everywhere.
a helicopter passes and again the guy says "The Lord shall save me!"

So eventually he drowns and appears at the Pearly Gates.
"Why did you not save me ?", he says.
"Didn't I pray enough ?"
"Hmm" says God, "I've sent you help 3 times ... yet you refused."

Of couse the chinese government censored the ass part, which is funny since that donkey is still an ass. :lol:
