Recently at my work place, one of our senior engineer has retired. We seriously lost a vast knowledge source, and I've been moved into helping to replace him. During his retirement party, he gave this amusing little story:
An Alberta duck decided instead of flying south like all his buddies; he would stay and enjoy the winter in sunny Alberta. Well everything went ok until the temperature dropped to -30 and the fields were covered with snow.
The duck was slowly freezing to death when a cow came along. The cow felt sorry for the duck and wanted to save him so she poop all over him. As the warm cow dung bring life back to the duck, the duck got upset the he was covered in cow dung and started to quack loudly.
A fox was wondering by and when he heard the duck, he came quickly and pull him out, cleaned him and ate him.
There are 4 lessons in this story;
1. Don’t assume it will always be bright and sunny-be prepared for the worst case.
2. When things get bad, remember those who crap on you may be helping you.
3. Those who appears to get you out of shit may not be your friend.
4. and finally, when you are neck deep in shit, keep you mouth shut.
After hearing that story, I got inspired to draw the scene, and did it using drop like lines. So here's the picture:
It's a good story to live by. :D
