Life Explained

My desk drawer was over flowing so I took the time yesterday to clean it out. I'm a saver...you just never know when you might need something that was stashed away years ago.

Ever notice that once something that's been stashed away for years is thrown away the next day you need that exact thing? Never fails for me!

While I weed through mounds of paper I find some funny stuff that was sent to me years ago. The plus side of all this, I spent the day laughing at all the great jokes I saved.

Case in point:

Life Explained

*

*

On the first 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.

*

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. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."

*

And God agreed again.

*

On the third 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. Monkey gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"

*

So God agreed (sigh).

*

On the fourth day God created man.

*

God said:

*

"Eat, sleep, play, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."

*

Man said:

*

"What? Only twenty years! No way, man. Tell you what, I'll take 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?"

*

And God said:

*

"Okay, you've got a deal."

*

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, 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 the grandchildren, and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

*

Life has now been explained.

*

Have a blessed day!
