Life Explained
> 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 fourth 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
