Now I know why I had so much fun, and now sit around making a fool of myself. LOL Thanks
: Watch What You Ask For
: On the very first day, God created the cow.
: He said to the cow, "As a cow, you
: must go to the field with the farmer, to
: work all day under the sun! I will give
: you a life span of 50 years."
: Cow objected "What? This is the kind of
: tough life you want me to live for 50
: years? Let me have just 20 years, and I
: will give 30 years back to you." So
: God agreed.
: On the second day, God created the dog. God
: said to the dog, "What you are
: supposed to do is to sit all day by the
: door of your house. You will have to bark
: at any people that come in! I will give
: you a life span of 20 years!"
: Dog objected. "What? Twenty years and
: all I do is all day long is sit by the
: door? No way! Please just give me 10 years
: of life!" So God agreed.
: On the third day, God created the monkey. He
: said to the monkey, "The monkey has
: to entertain people and make them laugh by
: doing monkey tricks. I will give you a 20
: year life span."
: Monkey objected. "What? Make people
: laugh? Do monkey faces and tricks? Ten
: years is enough, and the other 10 years
: you can keep." So God agreed.
: On the fourth day, God created man and said
: to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat,
: and play. All you need to do is to enjoy
: yourself and have a good time. I will give
: you a 20 year life span."
: The man objected. "What? Such a good
: life! Eat, play, sleep, and have a good
: time! Sounds great! Yet you only give me
: 20 years. No way, man! Why don't we make a
: deal? Since Cow gave you back 30 years,
: Dog gave you back 10 years and Monkey gave
: you back 10 years, I will take them from
: you! That makes my life span 70 years,
: right?" So God agreed.
: And that is why... In our first 20 years, we
: eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and not
: do much else. For the next 30 years, we
: work all day long, suffer and get to
: support the family. For the next 10 years,
: we entertain our grandchildren by making
: monkey faces and monkey tricks. And for
: the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit in
: front of the door and bark at people.
