> The following joke is quite long, but it's worth reading on...
> There was a fly sitting about seven inches above the surface of the
>water in a lake. At the same time, there was a fish, sitting underneath

>six inches, I could jump up and get it'.
> At the same time, there was a bear sitting in the woods across the
>lake. He was looking at the fly and thinking,"You know, I'll bet if that

>could run across and get the fish."
> At the same time, there was a hunter hiding behind a tree and

>jump up and get the fly, the bear would run across and get the fish, and
>then I could jump up and shoot the bear."
> At the same time, there was a mouse sitting at the hunter's feet. He

> At the same time (go figure!), there was a cat sitting in a tree and
>looking at the fly. He thought, "You know, I'll bet that if that fly

>bear would run across and get the fish, the hunter would jump up, lose
>his cheese sandwich, and shoot the bear, the mouse would start nibbling
>on the cheese sandwich and I could pounce on the mouse."
> Well, don't you know it happens: the fly drops six inches, the fish
>jumps up and gets the fly, the bear runs across and gets the fish, the
>hunter jumps up, loses his cheese sandwich, and shoots the bear, the
>mouse starts nibbling on the cheese sandwich and the cat pounces on the
>mouse, misses, and lands in the lake.
> What's the moral of this story?
> If a fly drops six inches, a pussy's bound to get wet. :)
