> And God agreed.

> On the second day, God created the dog.

> So God agreed (sigh).

> On the third day God created the monkey.

> God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give

> Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years?  I don't think 
> so. 
> Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" 
> 
> And God agreed again. 
> 
> On the fourth day God created man. 
> 
> God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, 
> 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 cow gave back, and the ten dog gave back and the 
> ten 
> monkey gave back. That makes eighty, okay?" 
> 
> "Okay," said God. "You've got a deal." 
> 
> So 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
