Oh, no, you didn't!

I almost shared that very joke when I got up this morning. It's one I share with all my friends!

Now, just to add another that I remember to this day my 9th-grade civics teacher telling me, I found a version online to share with y'all....
There was a snake called Nate. His purpose in life was to stay in the desert and guard a lever. This lever was no ordinary lever. It was the lever that, if moved, would destroy the world. Nate took his job very seriously. He let nothing get close to the lever.
One day, off in the distance, he saw a cloud of dust. He kept his eye on it, because, being a good lever watchman, he was remaining vigilant. The dust cloud continued to move closer to the lever. Nate soon saw that it was a huge boulder and it was heading straight for the lever!
Nate thought about what he could do to save the world. He decided if he could get in front of the boulder he could deflect it and it would miss the lever. Nate slithered quickly to intersect the boulder. The boulder ran over Nate, but it was, in fact, deflected.
History would remember Nate, forever concluding...
