the boar and the antelopeOne day the boar and the antelope met, and the former said, "Friend, I dreamed last night that you would be eaten by me," to which the antelope replied, "How can that be, for we are friends," only to hear the boar answer, "What I have dreamed must come to pass."When the antelope heard this, he said, "If that is so, let us go and put the case to our ruler," but neither of them knew that the ape had overheard. The antelope and the boar came to the king, who, after he had listened to the case, decided that the antelope must really be eaten, because the boar had dreamed it. When the ape heard this) he had pity for the antelope, so he dropped down suddenly from the tree-top before them all, startling the king, who said, "What are you doing here?" The ape answered, "Why, I dreamed that I had married the daughter of the king, and I have come for her." The king replied, "But what you say is impossible," to which the ape retorted, "No, it is very possible." The king hearing this, and seeing the point, said to his servants, "The decision in the case of the antelope and the boar cannot be carried out." 37 |

Excellent story, obmar!
Perhaps if more of our decision makers had to see what it was like to abide under their own rule, things might be different. |

That's kinda weird, obmar.
Boars don't eat antelope. But then, apes don't marry antelope either, so I guess it's okay. |

 I suppose so!
I heard a song where the Elephant married the Ass - pretty funny - the song that is, not the reality, quite unfortunately! |

No, I don't think I would find it too funny - though it was hard not to laugh when I told FD about it!
Ewww.... I think I'd just as soon pass on that experience! |

obmar,
That's completely gross, and hilarious at the same time.
