I think that sometimes we tend to get just a little too serious. Here's a little something to brighten your day and put a smile on your face.

Have a laugh on me!
Life
One day, God created the dog and said:
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at everyone who comes in or walls past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said:
"That is 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 next 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 next day God created the cow and said:
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long, suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmers 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 next day God created man and said:
"Eat, sleep, play, marry, have children and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the man said:
"Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten that the monkey gave back, and the ten that the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," God replied, "You asked for it."
So that's why the first twenty years we sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our families. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the next ten years we sit on the front pourch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

I hope I've been able to make more than a few of you smile. If I was successful I'll ask you to send Erin a brief note to say thank you, just, Thank You.

Like all good 'jokes' it is based on truth.
Question: What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

More on Harleys and Hoovers
If you say "none, they both have wheels and and suck," I'll have to get violent. My grandfather worked for Harley most of his life.
The easy answer as to the difference is, "I don't know but if you try riding down the road on each you should figure it out."
Cute bit Penny, oh your rewrite of Raised in SLC Chapter 12 was much improved, thanks.

Yep, SLC 12 Was Great!
Much better! only 2% Cruelfat, pastuerized :) That remaining 2% is still for the diaper incident too *sticks tongue out* :) hehehe I cannot believe Matilda was that unusual that hospital orderlies had to gather to come and watch the change. Seriously, they acted like a miracle from god was occurring, and I would think a woman having a baby would be far more interesting that Matilda having a diaper change :)
But yes, The story is more readable, made more sense, and is way better than the first draft. Thank You Penny. You did a great Job!
And yes Erin, I know this comment isnt in the exact place it should be either :)
but it is in response. hehehe

Comments in the wrong place?
When has that ever happened? I mean after all it's not like I had 2 things on the front page at the same time, hee hee. I guess it's my fault for being a silly blonde, giggle.
Seriously, I don't care where comments show up, I'm just happy that what I've posted is being enjoyed, I was beginning to wonder.
