There once was a Species of tail-less Monkey who had an over-developed Brain, of which it was immensely proud.

Apeman thought he was Top of the Evolutionary Tree (and prior: Darling of the Gods), and could not only Dominate his Planet, but Conquer Nature, and be Immortal.

His species multiplied like crazy, spread across the globe, and did pretty much anything it damned well liked.

Some wise old apes warned that all this might be imprudent, and we’d better slow down and reconsider – only to be laughed at, as self-interested old Boffins who didn’t have a clue, because we’d done it all before, and Nature had always cleaned up the mess. Nature cleaned up the mess alright – the species is now extinct.

Moral: In the Land of the Loony, the Half-Wit is King. – or – Dominant Apeman’s Rabid Wrongdoing Infuriated Nature.

If we laugh at others’ follies, and are a human being, a little transposition will put us on the scene.
