Thought you might enjoy this.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town. The
boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they
went along they passed some people who remarked it was
a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a
shame, he makes that little boy walk". They then decided
they both would walk. Soon they passed some more people
who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a
decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying
how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy
and man said they were probably right, so they decided
to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they
lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river
and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss
your ass good-bye!
