Donkey on the Road
Saw a donkey on the road today. Well I think it was a donkey...not sure how you can distinguish between a donkey, an ass and a mule...I mean I know the difference between these three animals, but physically if you see them, how do you know which one is it?
Anyway, this donkey (we'll keep it as a donkey, could have been a mule or an ass as well, but hey what the heck...) on the road seemed really unhappy...come to think of it, donkeys always seem unhappy...never seem happy about anything, unless it's the donkey from Shrek. Now I guess you can't be unhappy when you have the voice of Eddie Murphy...quite difficult to imagine Eddie Murphy voicing a sad creature. Maybe thats why donkeys are unhappy - they don't like the way they sound. Or could it be that they don't like being considered stupid. Now thats what they are known for - their claim to fame. But hey, they didn't have a say in it.Guess they are not too happy about it. Sure, who would want to be identified with "Stupid"???
Now even dodos are supposed to be stupid, but they look quite happy. They look more like blissfully ignorant...donkeys on the other hand look condemned to be unhappy. Maybe during the dodos time stupidity was nothing to feel sad about, maybe they loved their claim to fame - dumb and extinct. They didn't have any one to be compared with, but donkeys do. They have a similar looking cousin - the horse. Now if you're compared to the horse and looked down upon, its got to be bad for the donkey. Think about it - your cousin is THE HORSE & you are the donkey. Horses & mares are like the king & queen of the prom. I'm sure the donkeys never forgave God for making them "ohh-so-similar" to the horses, but not quite so.
In any case, this donkey seemed really sad and lonely - must have been beaten up by it's master. Or maybe had a crush on the wrong look-alike - a mare & got snubbed.

Holy shit...Can't believe u wrote something like this...totally mindless n hilarious [;)]
neway...one can actually distinguish between a donkey n a mule by the tail n the ears...a mule is more similar to a horse than a donkey...besides...mules look happier(keen observation u c ;-) )
But then hard work is always compared to donkeys..."Gadhe ki tarah kaam karta hai"...the pretty looking cousin horse doesn't even come to recon...
guess that's something to be proud of...donkeys shudn't really feel depressed after all ;-)
