Lighter Side
In the beginning....

God created Heaven and Earth. Quickly, He was faced with a class action suit for failure to file an environmental impact statement. He was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with a cease and desist order for earthly part.
At the hearing, God was asked why he began his earthly project. God replid that he just liked to be creative. God said, "let there be light," and immediately the officials demanded to know how the light would be made. God explained that the light would come from a huge ball of fire. God was granted provisional permission to make light, assuming that no smoke would result from the ball of fire, that he would obtain a building permit, and to conserve energy, would have the light half the time. God agreed and said he would call the light "Day" and darkness "Night." Officials replied that they were not interested in semantics.
God said, "let the earth bring forth green herbs and such, and many seeds." The EPA agreed so long as native seeds were used. Then God said, "Let waters bring forth creatureshaving life, and the fowl that fly over the Earth." Officials required approval from the Department of Game, coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife Federation, and the Audobangelic Society. Then, God said he wanted to complete the project in six days. Officials said it would take at least 200 days to review the application and impact statement. After that, there would be a public hearing. Then, there would be 10 to 12 months before he could begin.
At this point, God created Hell.
