00:00King wanted to go fishing. He asked the royal weather forecaster for the forecast for the next

00:05few hours. The palace meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of rain. So the king

00:11and the queen went fishing. On the way, he met a man with a fishing pole riding on a donkey and

00:17asked the man if the fish were biting. The fisherman said, Your Majesty, you should return

00:22to the palace. In just a short time, I expect a huge rainstorm. The king replied, I hold the

00:29palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an educated and experienced professional. Besides,

00:35I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him. So the king

00:41continued on his way. However, torrential rain fell from the sky in a short time. The king and queen

00:47were utterly drenched. Furious, the king returned to the palace and ordered the meteorologist to fire.

00:54Then he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious position of royal forecaster.

00:58The fisherman said, Your Majesty, I know nothing about forecasting. I obtain my information from

01:05my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain. So the king

01:12hired the donkey and thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions

01:17of government. The practice is unbroken to this date.
