Noah!
Hopeless story of Noah.
And the lord said unto Noah: where is the ark which I have commanded thee to build? And Noah said unto the lord: "verify, i have had the carpenters off ". The gopher-wood supplier hath let me down-yea, even though the gopher wood hath been on order for high upon 12 months.
What can I do Oh Lord?
And God said unto Noah: "I want that ark finished even after seven days and seven nights". And Noah said: "It will be so". And it was not so , and the Lord said unto Noah: " what seemeth to be the trouble this time"?
And Noah said unto the Lord: " mine subcontractor has gone bankrupt. The pitch which thou commandest me to put on the outside and on the inside of the ark has not arrived. The plumber has gone on strike, Shem my son who helpeth me on the ark side of the business, has formed a group with his brothers Ham and Japheth, Lord am undone".
And the Lord grew angry and said: what about the animals, the male and female of every sort that i ordered to come unto thee to keep their seed alive upon the face of the earth"? And Noah said: "they have been delivered unto the wrong address but should arrive on Friday" and the lord said: "How about the unicorns and the fowls of the air by sevens"? and Noah wrong his wrung his hands and wept, saying "Lord unicorns are a discontinued line: thou can't get them for love nor for money. And fowls of the air are sold only in half dozens, Lord, Lord thou knowest how it is".
And the lord in his
wisdom said: "Noah my son I knowest why else dost thou think I have caused
a flood to descend upon the earth"?

All I really need to know about life I learned from Noah's ark:
Don't miss the boat.
Don't forget we are all in the same boat.
Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
Stay fit. When you are 600years old, someone might ask you to do something
really big.
Don't listen to critics; just get on with what has to be done.
For safety's sake travel in pairs.
Two heads are better than one.
Build your future on higher ground.
Speed is not always an advantage; after all, the snails were on the same ark
as cheetahs.
When you are stressed, float awhile.
Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic.
Remember that the woodpeckers inside are a larger threat than the storm outside.
