The "lion's share".

I've heard this phrase about six times in the last couple of weeks. She uses the lion's share of the money, he does the lion's share of the work, etc..

I looked up what it meant on my friend "Wikipedia", and it has its roots in Aesop's fables.

The lion, in this story, ends up getting all of the food, despite sharing the effort to catch it with other animals.

How true this is, in modern life, where overbearing, loud and confident people seem to get on, while others get "the donkey's share" : most of the painful work, with little reward.

Have I got a snippet of humour to lighten your load? A witty comment to make it all seem worthwhile?

Hell, no.
