Subject: God Created Man
On the first day the Lord created the cow. He 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 a kind of a tough life you
want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty
years and I'll give back the other forty."
And the Lord agreed.
On the second day, the Lord created the dog. He 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
back the other ten."
So He agreed (sigh).
On the third day the Lord created the monkey. He said,
"Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them
laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span."
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 the Lord agreed again.
On the fourth day the Lord created man. He 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 cow
gave back, and the ten dog gave back and theten monkey gave back. That
makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said the Lord. "You've got a deal."
So that is why for 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 our grandchildren; and for the last ten
years we sit in front of the house and bark at
everybody.
