Don't Argue With Donkeys
This morning I am rewarded with a Facebook gem, Don't Argue With Donkeys.
Its an old fable, not a FB creation, but it is something I need to heed at the moment.

Donkey asserts that grass is blue.
Tiger argues it is green.
Donkey reports the argument to the King, a Lion of course.
The Parties are summoned to Court where Lion agrees with Donkey that the grass is blue and penalises Tiger to 5 years silence. After Donkey prances happily away, Tiger asks Lion why he agreed with Donkey. Lion acknowledges the greenness of grass but admonishes Tiger. That such a great and noble animal should demean itself by wasting time to argue with a fool instead of remaining silent is an error of judgment. Hence the penalty.

Clearly this is a lion arguing with a donkey, it should be a tiger. You get the point.
