This explains our lives

"Creation of Life"

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.

If I wanted to milk that setup, I'd reply with "Is that because you keep making an udder fool of yourself?". But then, you might seriously think that I had a beef with you and I wouldn't want you to believe that bull.

Klet: he messaged me this morning with something like:

"I've reached the stage where I actually embarrassed myself."

And pointed me to that groaner up above

I found the entirety to be a rather mooooving experience.

(Dang! I'm looking for the cow emoticon and realize it's on that OTHER forum!! *sigh* woulda been perfect, too!

)

I shouldn't have done it, but I have a good excuse. I look to Baakay to be my moral compass. Unfortunately, she keeps steering me wrong.

I don't even know why I stayed away for so long. You 3 Stooges crack me up. Just so you don't get confused, I am talking about Baakay, Klet and Kymaera.
