It's not often you receive such  wisdom in a short email.

 	  Quote: 	
		  

 On the fifth day, God said, "Let the  land produce living creatures 

 according to their kinds: livestock,  creatures that move along the 

 ground, and wild  animals."



 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?"



 So God  agreed.



 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 like the cow did?"



 And God  agreed.



 Then 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 again.



 Then  God said, "Let us make man in our image...." And He said to Adam, 

 "Eat,  sleep, play, marry, and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you 

 twenty  years."



 But Adam said: "Only twenty years? I'll never even  figure out Eve in 

 that time! 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, "It shall be as you've asked."



 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.

I'm 41. 

  

 So when exactly do we figure out Eve?

  

 (My profoundest apologies to the women on the  list.)
