This makes sense!

LAWNS & GOD

GOD: Francis, you know all about gardens and nature.
What in the
world
is going on down there in America? What happened to
the
dandelions,
violets, thistle and stuff I started eons ago? I had
a perfect,
no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any
type of soil,
withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The
nectar from the
long lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey
bees and flocks of
songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colors
by now. But all
I see are these green rectangles.

ST. FRANCIS: It's the tribes that settled there,
Lord. The
Suburbanites.
They started calling your flowers "weeds" and went
to great
lengths to
kill them and replace them with grass.

GOD: Grass? But it's so boring. It's not colorful.
It doesn't attract
butterflies, birds and bees, only grubs and sod
worms. It's
temperamental with temperatures. Do these
Suburbanites really
want all that grass growing there?

ST. FRANCIS: Apparently so, Lord. They go to great
pains to grow
it
and keep it green. They begin each spring by
fertilizing grass and
poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.

GOD: The spring rains and warm weather probably make
grass
grow really
fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy.

ST. FRANCIS: Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it
grows a little,
they
cut it, sometimes twice a week.

GOD: They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?

ST. FRANCIS: Not exactly Lord. Most of them rake it
up and put it
in
bags.

GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they
sell it?

ST. FRANCIS: No, sir -- just the opposite. They pay
to throw it
away.

GOD: Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize
grass so it will
grow. And when it does grow, they cut it off and pay
to throw it
away?

ST. FRANCIS: Yes, sir.

GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the
summer when we
cut
back on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely
slows the growth
and
saves them a lot of work.

ST. FRANCIS: You aren't going to believe this, Lord.
When the
grass
stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay
more money to
water
it so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid
of it.

GOD: What nonsense. At least they kept some of the
trees. That
was a
sheer stoke of genius, if I do say so myself. The
trees grow leaves
in
the spring to provide beauty and shade in the
summer. In the
autumn
they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket
to keep moisture
in the
soil and protect the trees and bushes. Plus, as they
rot, the leaves
form compost to enhance the soil. It's a natural
circle of life.

ST. FRANCIS: You'd better sit down, Lord. The
Suburbanites have
drawn
a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake
them into great
piles and pay to have them hauled away.

GOD: No. What do they do to protect the shrub and
tree roots in
the
winter and to keep the soil moist and loose?

ST. FRANCIS: After throwing away the leaves, they go
out and buy
something which they call mulch. They haul it home
and spread it
around in place of the leaves.

GOD: And where do they get this mulch?

ST. FRANCIS: They cut down trees and grind them up
to make the
mulch.

GOD: Enough! I don't want to think about this
anymore. St.
Catherine,
you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you
scheduled for us
tonight?

ST. CATHERINE: "Dumb and Dumber," Lord. It's a movie
about ...

GOD: Never mind, I think I just heard the whole
story from St.
Francis.

ROTF.... LMAO........got a belly ache now....

I've read that before. It is really funny. Does make we humans look pretty silly. Or as the movie says "Dumb & Dumber". Thanks for sharing..
