A forum commenter posted this in one of his/her reply and I thought it’s quite cute, the way the equation goes:

The Great Donkey Theorem #1

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy

Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore:

Human = Donkey + Work + enjoy

Therefore:

Human – enjoy = Donkey + Work

Conclusion:

A Human that doesn’t know how to enjoy = working Donkey.

The Great Donkey Theorem #2

Man = eat + sleep + earn money

Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore:

Man = Donkey + earn money

Therefore:

Man – earn money = Donkey

Conclusion:
A Man who doesn’t earn money = Donkey!!!

So…

Moral of the story, don’t be a Donkey!

Gee, I’ve never realised that I’m that close to being a Donkey, but then again one can easily substitute Donkey with Llama, Ox, Lemurs, Ducks, and still have a balanced equation~

Aren’t you glad that you know your algebra?
