A little humor for the day.

On the sixth day of creation, God created the land animals and humans

When God got to day 6 of creation he created the Dog. He told the dog I want you to sit on the front porch, to bark at everybody that goes by and I will give you 20 years of life. The Dog goes that is a long time to be barking how about I just do this for ten years and give the rest back. God said okay.

God next created the Monkey. He said to the monkey to entertain the people, make them laugh, and I will give you 20 years of life. The monkey responded that is a long time to be entertaining upright primates. How about I do it for ten years and give you ten years back? God said okay.

God now moved on and created the Cow. He said to the cow go into the fields, and labor under the sun. Give man milk, calves, and meat and I will give you 60 years of life. The cow said that is way too long to labor like that, how about we make it just 20 years and I will give you 40 back. God said okay.

God next created man. God told man to go play, make merry and be happy, I will give you 20 years of life. Man said that’s not enough. Man said how about you give me back the 40 years the cow did not want, the 10 from the monkey it gave back, and ten from the dog. God said okay.

Now you know why the first 20 years of our lives are spent playing and making merry, then the next 40 years we work like a cow laboring in the fields, the next ten years are spent entertaining our grandkids like a monkey, and the last ten we sit on the porch barking at everybody, like the dog.
