Subject: Life explained

I particularly appreciate the fact that on the first day God created the Dog.

On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door

of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I

will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten

years, and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people,

do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year

life span."

The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long

time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the

field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves

and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you

a life span of sixty years."

The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty

years. How about twenty, and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry,

and enjoy your life For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty,

the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten

the dog gave back? That makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy

ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our

family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the

grand-children. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch

and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you... :beercheers:
