"Life Explained"<br /><br />On the first day Lord created cow. And Lord said,<br />"You must go to the field with the farmer all day<br />long and suffer under the sun, have calves and<br />give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a<br />life span of sixty years."<br /><br />Cow said, "That's a kind of a tough life you want<br />me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty<br />years and I'll give back the other forty." And Lord agreed.<br /><br />On the second day Lord created dog. And to dog,<br />Lord said, "Sit all day by the door of your house<br />and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.<br />I will give you a life span of twenty years."<br /><br />Dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me<br />ten years and I'll give back the other ten. So Lord agreed (sigh).<br /><br />On the third day Lord created monkey. Lord said,<br />"Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them<br />laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span."<br /><br />Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty<br />years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so<br />that's what I'll do too, okay? And Lord agreed again.<br /><br />On the fourth day Lord created man. Lord said,<br />"Eat, sleep, play, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy,<br />enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."<br /><br />Man said, "What? Only twenty years? No way man.<br />Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty cow gave back, and the ten monkey gave back, and the ten dog gave back. That makes eighty, okay?"<br />"Okay," said Lord. "You've got a deal."<br /><br />So that is why for the first twenty years we eat,<br />sleep, play, enjoy, and do nothing; for the next<br />forty years we slave in the sun to support our<br />family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks<br />to entertain our grandchildren; and for the last<br />ten years we sit in front of the house and bark<br />at everybody.<br /><br />Life has now been explained.
