It has been suggested that the parable-to-allegory ratio is a bit extreme. Thus, what follows is an apologue of very poor quality.

A shark, a Pomeranian, a squirrel, and a kernel hacker walk into a bar. The shark, who was wearing a fascinating breathing apparatus, exclaimed that the chocolate cake was better than the panacotta. « Yeah, I'd hit that » agreed the kernel hacker. They were not very surprised when the Pomeranian and the squirrel ripped out their throats.

The moral of the story is that chocolate cake is a potentially-dangerous substance.
