God vs Environmentalists
God created heaven and the earth. Quickly he was faced with a class
action suit for failure to file an environmental impact statement. He
was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with
the cease and desist order for the earthly part.
Appearing at the hearing, God was asked why he began his earthly
project in the first place. He replied that he just liked to be
creative.
Then God said, "Let there be light", and immediately the officials
demanded to know how the light would be made. Would there be strip
mining? What about thermal pollution? God explained that the light
would come from a huge ball of fire. God was granted provisional
permission to make light, assuming that no smoke would result from the
ball of fire; that he would obtain a building permit; and to conserve
energy, would turn the light off half the time. God agreed and said he
would call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night". Officials replied
that they were not interested in semantics.
God said, "Let the earth bring forth green herb and bear much
seed". The EPA agreed so long as native seed was used. Then God said,
"Let waters bring forth creeping creatures begetting life; and the
fowl that may fly over the earth". Officials pointed out this would
require approval from the Department of Game coordinated with the
Heavenly Wildlife Federation and the Audubongelic Society.
Everything was O.K. until God said he wanted to complete the project
in Six days. Officials said it would take at least 200 days to review
the application and impact statement. After that there would be a
public hearing. Then there would be a 10-12 month approval period
before...
At this point God created Hell.
