Life Explained
Posted: August 20, 2004 9:14 pm
On the first 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 the other ten."
So God agreed.
On the second 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.
On the third 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 again.
On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat,
sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life I'll give you twenty years." Man said, "What? Only
twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and
the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey
gave back and the ten the dog 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, 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
grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on
the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
