Life explained.......
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?"
And God saw it was good.
On the second day God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks and make them laugh. For this I will give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for 20 years????? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?"
And God again saw it was good.
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 60 years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60 years. How about 20 and I'll give back the other 40?"
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this I'll give you 20 years."
But the human said, "Only 20 years?????? Could you possibly give me my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back and the 10 the dog gave back......that makes 80, OK?"
"OK," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first 20 years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next 10 years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I am doing it as a public service......and if you are looking for me, I will be on the front porch.
