>Bull $hit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
I remember a similar bit of wisdom from my elementary school days:
A sparrow was freezing out there on the country road, and fainted of exhaustion. Then a cow passed and unloaded a huge pile of warm dung on him. Within minutes, he came about, and even started doing some exercise, stretching his wings and generally feeling happy. This activity was spotted by a cat, who came, pulled him out and ate him.
Three morals to this story:
- not everyone who gets you deep into stool is your enemy
- when you're deep in it, don't advertise the fact
- not everyone who gets you out of it is your friend
