While driving down a steep and curvy logging
road, a group of biologists loose control of their 4-wd “Jimmy” and
careen down the hill. The truck piles up at the bottom of the
canyon,
and everyone aboard perishes. Suprisingly, they all go to
heaven. At an
orientation they are asked, “When you are in your casket
and your
friends and family are mourning about your death, what would
you like to
hear them say about you?”
The first guy, a well
known botanist says, “I would like to hear them
say that I was one
of the greatest botanists of my time, and left an
eternal
contribution to the botanical world.”
The second guy, an ornithologist,
says, “I would like to hear that I
was a wonderful birder and made a
huge difference in the recovery of our
bird
populations.”
The last guy, a scruffy mammalogist, replies, “I would like to hear
them say… ‘LOOK, HE’S MOVING!!!’ “
