Pigeon Chess
Sort:
Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon; it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory."
All right! I wondered where he got that! He's only 17 but already wise to stealing other people's materaial , and I aint' tlkaing chess!
I have a friend who came i from the ariport and told us an amazing story aout how he was sitting next to a man in the waiting area, and he was eating cheese crackers. suddenlh, the man reached over, took a cracker, and put the package back dwn. My friend Mike lokee at the gy, defianlty picked up the cheese crackers and ate on, the whole time staring a tthe guy hard. The man didn't bat an eye, he picked up the cheese crackers and slowly put it in his mouth.mike was flabgergasted, I now it's New Yorl but that was over the top. Not to be outdone, mike piks up his cheese crackers and sloly eats the last one, the whole time the man is looking at him like he's gonna tear him cheese from cracker. Just then, the flight was called. The man gets up, shakes his head and walks away. Smilikng to himself, Mike felt good having stared the man into backing down. What a jerk, mike thought. Then as he stood up to go check in, he looked down, and there wass HIS package of cheese crackers, he was sitting on them the whole time. H! That will teach him not to judge people so fast! I think Mike even said he waited and took another flight.What a great story!
Then a whole year later, I think I was reading a Douglas Adams book, when I came upon a story he tells about his dad. It was all about eating cheese crackers whle waiting for a flight, and how a strange man just started eating his Dad's cheese crackes...
My son just told me this as an insult for someone who doesn't listen, I had to share it...
"Arguing with you is like playing chess against a pigeon. No matter how well I moved my pieces on the board, the pigeon would just flap it's wings and stomp all around, knocking over pieces, squawking loudly and acting like it was winning the game."
