Noah and The Ferrets Author Unknown God had Noah build his Ark, and then brought the animals 2 x 2 right? Then ferret math took over, and by the time the first raindrops fell, Noah had 17 ferrets. God: "Noah! What's this? I told you TWO of each animal!" Noah: "I know, but...how could I resist?" God: "Yeah, yeah... I know. Never mind. From this day forward, anyone who opens the door to their heart and home to a ferret will find that Ferret Math will strike, just as surely as it has stricken you. It is a phenomenon I will instill, and it will last until the last ferret is adopted into a loving home...meanwhile...I have to get the flood started. Button your overcoat. But, wait! First..." Noah: "Uh-oh...what, Lord?" God: "There's a pair of ferrets in New Jersey that are looking for a good home...do you think you could squeeze just two more into the Ark?" Noah: "Sure, there's always room for two more. Hey, you! Unicorns! Get out! We've got more ferrets coming in!" And that's the REAL reason why there aren't any unicorns around today.
