The human race
In the beginning God created man. Up until then things had been pretty quiet on planet Earth. Man arrived in paradise with everything he could want. But man was not happy. Oh no.
To address this shortfall man decided to go on a walkabout to see if he could find the thing that would make him happy. This made man busy. He suddenly found he needed to make a path where no man had gone before. He then found out that the Earth was a very big place and he kept getting lost along the way. It was also a very slow process walking everywhere so man invented the wheel to shift things along a bit faster. Man, was it bumpy on those early paths! Clearly something was lacking: Roads. Early road building was very labour intensive for man, but he finally got a reasonable network together and felt free to role. Only problem was he kept getting lost, so man came up with a clever invention: The map.
Off he set along the road on his chariot with his map on his lap. He got to the first fork in the road and crashed into a tree, not knowing which fork to take and unable to read a map and drive at the same time (this ability has since been termed “multi-tasking”. Man should not have attempted this while at the wheel). Man felt a bit put out by all this and decided to ask God do something about it.
The solution seemed obvious. Man needed something, which could navigate for him while he drove. God thought about this for some time. This was a real design problem as man had already shown his ability to fight other men while at the wheel, so God decided to improve on his first human design. He took some of man’s aggression away and altered the internal nagivation system, which obviously was so defective in man. Before God was finished, a few cosmetic improvements were made. God was so pleased with the finished design that she decided to name his invention after herself: Woman.
The rest is history. Man still loves building road networks and increasingly clashes with other men on the road. He unfortunately couldn’t get to grips with woman and a map together next to him, but the solution was on its way. He now has something purposely designed to make him happy: GPS. Woman unfortunately for man has no interest what so ever in such toys or in road networks. She’s happy enough knowing that man was the prototype on the road to womanhood. Thank God!
And the moral of the story: Don’t look for happiness in a woman or a GPS device. Find your own way in life if you want to find happiness. It’s just around the corner.
