Life explained

On the first day God created the cow.
God said, "You must go to the field with
the farmer all day long and suffer under
the sun, have calves and give milk to
support the farmer. 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. Let

me have twenty and  I'll give back the

other forty."

And God agreed.

On the second day God created the dog.

God said, "Sit all day by the door of your
house and  bark at anyone who comes

 in or walks past.

I will give you a life span of twenty
years."

The dog said, "That's too long to be
barking. Give  me ten years and I'll give

you back theother ten."

So God agreed (sigh).

On the third day God created the monkey.

God said, "Entertain people, do monkey
tricks, make  them laugh. I'll give you a

twenty year life span."

The monkey said, "How boring, monkey
tricks for  twenty years? I don't think so.

Dog gave you  back ten, so that's what

I'll do too,okay?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day God created man.

God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex,
enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give

You twenty years."

Man said, "What? Only twenty years" No way
man.  Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and
the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the

Dog gave back and the ten the monkey gave

back, that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."

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

nothing; 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 grandchildren; and for
the last ten  years we sit on the front

porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained.
