The Secret of Life.....

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 a pretty tough life you want me to live for sixty
years. Let me have twenty years and I'll give back the other forty."
And God agreed.
On the second 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 back the other ten."
So God agreed.
On the third day God created the monkey. God 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.
The dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed again (sigh).
On the fourth day God created man. God said, "You are created in my image,
eat, sleep, play, have sex, 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, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the dog gave back and
the ten the monkey gave back. That makes eighty.
"Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."
And 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.
Life has now been explained
