regulations!!!! quote: "The Lord said to Noah, 'in six months I'm going to make it rain until the earth is covered with water and all the evil is destroyed. I want you to build an ark and save two of each animal species. Here are the blueprints.' Six months passed. The skies began to cloud and rain began to fall. Noah sat in his front yard, weeping. 'Why haven't you built the ark?' asked the Lord. 'Oh, forgive me,' said Noah. 'I did my best, but so many things happened. The blueprints you gave me didn't meet the city's zoning by-laws and I had to change them. Then the city said I was violating the zoning ordinance by building an ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance. The Conservation Authority required tree-cutting permits, and I was sued by the Humane Society when I tried to gather up the animals. The Ministry of Energy and Environment required an environmental impact statement concerning the flood. The Metro Works Dept. wanted a map of the proposed flood plain. Revenue Canada seized all my assets, claiming I was trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and the Human Rights Commission said I wasn't hiring enough women and minorities. I'm sorry, Lord, but I can't finish the ark for at least five years.' Suddenly the rain stopped, the skies cleared and the sun began to shine. Noah looked up and said. 'Lord, does this mean you're not going to devastate the earth?' "Right,' said the Lord. 'The government already has.'"
