I give the crickets too much credit.

So much is going on. Yet so little time to talk about it.

This morning was a really humerous one for me. I woke up to a bunch of crickets in George’s plant. So.. of course he didn’t eat.

I went in to shake his tree to get the crickets out, and there was George. Sitting there like a little kid in a snowstorm. Mouth open, toungue outstretched waiting for an easy meal.

Cracked me up.

I decieded to let George eat up everything before I put too many more crickets in there. They are learning to climb the tree. So, I’ll stop the learning process.

It reminded me of the corporate "evil" banana.

1) Place five gorillas in a cage.
2) Suspend a banana in the cage above a ladder.
3) When any gorilla attempts to use the ladder, wet all five gorillas with a fire hose.
4) When gorillas no longer attempt to use the ladder, replace one gorilla.
5) Note that when the new gorilla attempts to use the ladder, the other gorillas will beat him up. The fire hose is no longer needed.
6) Repeat step 4 until all original gorillas have been replaced.
7) Note that at this point, no gorillas use the ladder and none of them knows why.

There are two possible morals to this story:

1) Many people will prevent you from getting a perfectly good banana even though nobody knows why.
2) Many people will prevent you from getting a perfectly good banana for a very good reason, although nobody knows what that reason is.

Strange how life works itself out.
Goodnight all.
