You can please some of the people part of the time ...
« on: February 20, 2007, 07:26:58 AM »

::howdythere::  An old saying came to mind as I looked at a recent e-mail ...
"You can please some of the people part of the time, but ...
You can not please all of the people all of the time."

Here it is:
An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was
a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame,
he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid
to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how
awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man
said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and
he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story; "If you try to please everyone, you might
as well kiss your A$$ good-bye."
