A man camped in a national park, and noticed Mr. Snake and Mrs. Snake
slithering by. "Where are all the little snakes?" he asked. Mr.
Snake replied, "We are adders, so we cannot multiply."
The following year, the man returned to the same camping spot. This
time there were a whole batch of little snakes. "I thought you said
you could not multiply," he said to Mr. Snake. "Well, the park ranger
came by and built a log table, so now we can multiply by adding!"
You know the story of Noah's Ark, of course. Well after the flood
when the ark came to rest on Ararat, Noah released all the animals,
and held a meeting and explained to them that the Lord wanted them to
be fruitful and multiply and repopulate the earth....
