Joke Of The Week

cyril-huze-joke-19On 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?” And God said that it was good.

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 again said that it was good.

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 it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.” But the human 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.

    This explains why I like to climb trees after a take a dump outside and check out my neighbor’s wife’s utters.

    GYM, the joke was good, I should have stopped there and not continued on to read your response.

    Very clever and funny…I’m sure God actually has the best humour
    It reminded me that though life is very important, it’s nothing compared to the forever ever of God…

    Mathematically: any amount of time divided by infinity(eternity) = zero
    Whether you have an enjoyable or a struggling life of however many years… it’s nothing compared to eternity…
    If there’s only one thing you get right in life, that should be to know God, don’t be separated from the power that promises the new that is yet to come.
    Truth will set you free in this life too!
    Basically, life can be confusing for many because lies can appear to be true….

    Oooo…Deep : ) was an inspiring joke ha
