Problems With The Ark
Anyone who builds an Ark can expect complaints, and not just from the animals.

She got right to the point.
Not only was his wife seasick after 40 days and allergic to the weasels, but now she had to squeeze between two rhinos to sleep.
“Look, I'm only following orders.”
Orders – that was always his excuse.
Mrs. Noah added more frown lines to her face.
“Well, here's my order. From now on you’re sleeping between the two rhinos.”
“What?”
“No, forget the rhinoceroses.” She knew ‘rhinoceri’ was an improper term. “Make that the hippos.”

"I'm afraid we have some bad news. Our move to dismiss was rejected."
"You assured me the case had no legal basis."
"Yes, but that was before the issue of dogs was introduced. People seem pretty upset they don't live at least as long as people."
"The term gross malpractice is beginning to be bandied about."
God shook his head regretfully. Maybe the whole creation thing should have been more carefully thought out.
