Ironworks Gaming Forum - Cycle of life

Not to be taken seriously but still has some meanings (in a way). As usual got it from email so not my work [img]tongue.gif[/img]

---------------------
On the first 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 you back the other ten."

So God agreed.

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

The monkey said, "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..

On the third day God created the cow. "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 kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty."

And God agreed again.

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

Man said, "What? Only twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty,
and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and
the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"

Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

So that is why the 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.

The cycle of life has now been explained to you.
