If Noah lived today .....

If Noah lived today and was seeking to build the Ark in Thailand .....

In the year 2005 the Lord came to Noah, who is now alive and well in Thailand, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. You need to build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans. You have 6 months to build the Ark before I start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down again and saw Noah weeping in his yard , but no Ark in sight.

"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where's the Ark?

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I need a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about need for a sprinkler system. My neighbours claim that I've violated the neighbourhood zoning laws by building the Ark in the yard which exceeds the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they wouldn't listen.

Then I had problems getting the wood. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save an endangered species, the spotted quoll. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the quolls - but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me for confining wild animals against their will. They said it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the local council ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many indigenous people I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. The Immigration department is checking the status of most of the people who want to work and I've even had a letter from Taksin Shinawat asking about my ethnic background!

The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Lao workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, the Taxation department has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.

Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"

"No," said the Lord. "Your Governments have already beaten me to it !"

In Thailand Noah would have to have formed a Thai Company with a few million shekells in the local Thai bank and employed a ratio of 5 Thais to each one of his sons.He would have had to go to Singapore or KL to change his visa from tourist to Non Immigrant Business Class.To do this he would require papers from his landlord and photocopies and photographs of all his employees' documents.:angry:
