Life As We Know It...............
Life!
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?"
So 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'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said,  "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long
time to perform. How  about I give you back ten 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 sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want  me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the  other
forty?"
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 twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty  years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the  ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes  eighty,
okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is  why for our 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.
Now that Life has  now been explained to you. There's no need to thank me for this valuable  information. I'm doing it as a
public service. If you are looking for me,  I'll be on the front
porch............
