One day God calls down to Noah and says, "Noah me auld pal, I want you to make me a new Ark".
Noah replies, "Hey, no probs God, me old Supreme Being, Anything you want. After all, you're the Man".
God, slightly taken aback at the over-familiarity in Noah's tone, interrupts. "Ah, but there's a catch. This time Noah, I want not just a couple of decks, I want 20 decks one on top of the other".
"20 DECKS!", screams Noah, "Well, OK Big Man whatever you say. Should I fill it up with all the animals just like last time?"
"Yeah, well sort of; this time I want you to fill it up with fish", God answers.
"Fish?", queries Noah, "You did say fish, righ' Your Budness?"
"Yep, fish. Well, to be more specific Noah, I want carp - wall to wall, floor to ceiling - carp!"
Noah looks to the skies. "OK God, let me get this right, you want a New Ark?"
"Check".
"With 20 decks, one on top of the other?".
"Check".
"And you want it full of carp?".
"Check".
"But why, Your Godness, why?" asks the perplexed Noah, slowly but surely seeing his visions of a long, lazy retirement with Mrs. Noah in the new apartments on top of Mount Ararat fading.

"Dunno", says God, "I just fancied a Multi-Storey Carp Ark".
Sorry folks - I misread the thread title, I thought it said "Re: Yet another carp joke..."
