Joke - Drumming...

Drumming

There was once a small boy who banged a drum all day and loved every

moment of it. He would not be quiet, no matter what anyone else said

or did. Various attempts were made to do something about the child.

One person told the boy that he would, if he continued to make so much

noise, perforate his eardrums. This reasoning was too advanced for the

child, who was neither a scientist nor a scholar.

A second person told him that drum beating was a sacred activity and

should be carried out only on special occasions. The third person offered

the neighbors plugs for their ears; a fourth gave the boy a book; a fifth

gave the neighbors books that described a method of controlling anger

through biofeedback; a sixth person gave the boy meditation exercises to

make him placid and docile. None of these attempts worked.

Eventually, a wise person came along with an effective motivation. He

looked at the situation, handed the child a hammer and chisel, and asked,

"I wonder what is INSIDE the drum?"

No more problem.
