Thanks to Bruce for posting this where it could be lifted.
Cute little flash story about how to make the best of bad stuff dumped on you:

Reminds me of the rejoined we young airmen used to the over used military phrase “Shit rolls downhill” (which was meant to imply that we junior people had to simply deal with it). We began to respond “Yes, it does, sir; but it piles right back uphill.”
My vote is that this is an Allegory:
A figurative sentence or discourse, in which the principal
subject is described by another subject resembling it in
its properties and circumstances. The real subject is thus
kept out of view, and we are left to collect the
intentions of the writer or speaker by the resemblance of
the secondary to the primary subject.
