[SOC] Life. Explained.

[KD7JYK DM09]

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of
your house and bark at anyone who
comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty
years.'

The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years
and I'll give you back the other
ten?'

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do
tricks, and make them laugh. For
this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.'

The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time
to perform. How about I give you
back ten like the Dog did?'

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field
with the farmer all day long and
suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's
family. For this, 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. How about twenty and I'll give
back the other forty?'

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and
enjoy your life. For this, I'll give
you twenty years.'

But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me 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?'

'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. 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 to you.
