SHITTING UP!

Once upon a time there was a nonconforming sparrow who decided not to
fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather turned so cold that
he reluctantly started to fly south. In a short time ice began to form
on his wings and he fell to earth in a barnyard, almost frozen. A cow
passed by and crapped on the little sparrow.

The sparrow thought it was the end. But the manure warmed him and
defrosted his wings. Warm and happy, able to breathe, he started to
sing.

Just then a large cat came by and, hearing the chirping, investigated
the sounds. The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping bird,
and promptly ate him.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY
1) Everyone who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy.
2) Everyone who gets you out of the shit is not necessarily your
friend.
3) And if you're warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth
shut.
