Ant & the Grasshopper

Ant & the Grasshopper

This one is not new, but has a good lesson!

MODERN VERSION

 

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

 

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper  next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

 

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house.


Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

 

Amnesty  International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not  upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

 

Opposition MP's stage a walkout

 

Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a  Judicial Enquiry.CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers.

 

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

 

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the beginning of the winter.

 

Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grass Hopper in educational Insititutions & in Govt Services.

 

The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

 

Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Socialistic  Justice'.

 

CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden'.

 

Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

 

Many years later...The ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi billion dollar company in silicon valley.100s of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ...

 

As a result of losing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers India is still a developing country..... .

Scientific Experimentation

Scientific Experimentation

The National Institute of Health has announced that they will no longer be using rats for medical experimentation. In their place, they will use attorneys. They have given three reasons for this decision:

  1. There are now more attorneys than there are rats.
  2. The medical researchers don t become as emotionally attached to the attorneys as they did to the rats.
  3. No matter how hard you try, there are some things that rats won`t do.

Going to Heaven!

Going to Heaven!

One day, a teacher, a garbage collector, and a lawyer all die and go to Heaven.

St. Peter is there and was having a bad day since heaven was getting crowded. When they get to the gate, St. Peter informed them that there will be a test to get into Heaven: They each will have to answer a single question.

To the teacher, he says, "What was the name of the ship that crashed into the Iceberg and sunk with all its passengers?"

The teacher thinks for a second, and then replies: "That would have been the Titanic, right?". St. Peter lets him through the gate.

Next, St. Peter turns to the Garbage man, and figuring that Heaven doesn't REALLY need all the stink that this guy would bring into heaven, decides to make the question a little harder: "How many people died on the ship?"

The garbage man guesses: "1467", to which St. Peter says "That happens to be right. Go ahead."

St. Peter then turns to the Lawyer:
