One day a bird was trying to fly to the top of a tree with a lot of branches. A bull was nearby and asked, little bird... why don't you just use the branches? The bird said, "No, I wish to fly to the top but I don't have enough strength." The bull said, "I have an idea... you can eat some of my droppings. They will provide you with the energy needed to fly to the top of that tree." So the bird ate the bull's droppings and, sure enough, flew to the top of a tree. Along came a happy trotting trigger happy hunter who just got an M1 Super 90 for his birthday and shot the bird out of the tree.

Moral of the story? Bullshit may get you to the top of a situation, but it won't keep you there.


Here's the follow-up story:
A sparrow decides that it is too hard a flight to go south in the winter and refuses to migrate when the other birds leave. Winter sets in and finally gets so bad that even the sparrow realizes he needs to head south. But he is no sooner in flight than ice forms on his wings and he falls to the ground. There on the cold, hard ground he is freezing to death until a cow comes by and flops on him. The warm of the cow's droppings began to warm him up and he feels so good he jumps up and starts singing. The farm cat hears him and pulls him out of his messy condition, cleans him up and eats him!

The morals of this story are:
[1] Not everybody who shits on you is your enemy.
[2] Not everybody who gets you out of shit is your friend.
[3] If, and when, you do get into shit keep your mouth shut.
