The palace meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of
rain.
So the king and the queen went fishing. On the way he met a man
with a fishing pole riding on a donkey, and he asked the man if the fish were
biting.
The fisherman said, "Your
Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge
rain storm." The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in
high regard. He is an educated and experienced professional. Besides, I pay him
very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him."
So the king continued on his way.
However, in a short time a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and
Queen were totally soaked. Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave
the order to fire the meteorologist. Then he summoned the fisherman and offered
him the prestigious position of royal forecaster. The fisherman said,
"Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my
information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with
certainty that... it will rain."
So the king hired the donkey. And
thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions
of government.
The practice is unbroken to this date...
