The Rarie
An exotic animal collector finally was able to complete
his collection with the acquisition of an juvenile member
of a very unusual species called the Rarie. The animal
looked like a furry, round ball, with feet on the bottom.
However, the collector did not know much about this
creature, especially how much it would grow. And it grew.
As the Rarie grew, it ate more and more. And it grew at
an alarming rate. The small animal enclosure had to be
enlarged, and enlarged, and enlarged. All too soon, the
size of the creature was becoming alarming, and the amount
of food consumed was straining the collector's budget.
Finally, in a state of desperation, he took the animal in
a dump truck to the edge of a gigantic cliff with the idea
that he would drop it over the edge. Just as the collector
was getting set to roll the animal out of the truck, the
animal popped open an eye and looked at him and asked,
"Whatcha gonna do now?" The collector explained how he
could no longer afford the upkeep, and that dropping it
over the cliff would be a humane way to get rid of such
an expensive liability.
The animal looked over the edge and with a tear in its
eye, it said, .... "It's a long way to tip a Rarie."
I hope you haven't given up your day job....
