Modern-day Noah

After learning a small part of the modern jurisprudence, amazed and at the same time puzzled by the theories of the renowned positivists, the logic, the criticisms, the debates, and whatnot....I find this article in Reader's Digest particularly humoring.

So God spoke to Noah and told him to build an ark.
(quote from Reader's Digest April 2012 edition) - "If Noah lived today..." by Nury Vittachi

Then came a man in a dark suit, who calleth himself the Compliance Officer. 

He said unto Noah:"All projects need stamped permits to make sure thou hast complied with ordinances. Is this a sole proprietorship or a limited company?" 

And Noah replied:" The Lord God Almighty spoke unto me and told me to build and ark thus." 

The man says: "Your partner will have to co-sign the articles of incorporation." 

Noah scratches his head," But He writeth only on great tablets which He passeth down to humans from mountaintop locations."

The man: "...What's your business plan, aims and objectives?"

Noah replies:" To save everything that liveth."

The man sighs. "Can we scale it down? No? Then specify assets. What does your operation produce?"

Noah pauses. "When the animals are inside, we will produce 4000 tonnes of dung everyday."

The man smiles. "OK, so you're a fertiliser maker. And liabilities?

Noah says:" The world as we know it will be destroyed utterly."

The financial man asks: "Estimated value?"

The question baffles Noah. "Thou canst not put a price on it. It's priceless."

The answer irritates the man in the suit. "May I remind you, Mr Noah, that no investor finds words such as 'priceless' helpful."

Noah says: "I will start on the paperwork thou requirest. Come back and see me in 40 days and 40 nights, OK? Goodbye."

As Noah shuts the door, the first drop of rain lands on the Compliance Officer's shoulder.
