Some old jokes get so old that no one around today has heard them, this one might fit in to that category.
The Non-conforming Sparrow.
The little sparrow decided he wasn’t going to fly south for the winter, too much hard work, too much stress. Instead he’d just stay right where he was. But then all the other birds left and he got lonely, the weather turned cold, and food started getting scarce.
Reluctantly the sparrow decided he’d have to fly south after all and he set off, but he’d left it too late. It wasn’t very long before his wings iced up and he plummeted to the earth.
While he was lying there on the cold hard earth a passing cow crapped on him. “Oh no.” thought the sparrow, “What a way to end my life.” but the heat from the cow crap defrosted his wings and warmed his body.
Feeling truly warm and happy for the first time in weeks, the little sparrow began to sing. A passing cat heard the noises, scraped away the cow pat, and ate him.
There’s 3 morals to this story:
Not everyone that craps on you is your enemy.
Not everyone who gets you out of the crap is your friend.
If you’re warm and happy in a pile of crap keep your mouth shut.
