In Bill Cosby’s classic story of “Noah and the Ark,” after building the Ark, Noah has been working for days to get the animals on board. As he struggles to get the second hippopotamus up the gangplank, he hears God calling him:

“You’ve got to take out one of those hippos and bring in another one.”

“Oh no! I’m not changing anything. You change one of them.”
And God answers, “Come on now, you know I don’t work like that.”
