Yes, I actually have a terrific sense of humor. Are you surprised? The Bible says God sits in the heavens and laughs (at some of us). I think humor is one of His absolutely best gifts to humanity. I have it with me at all times.

LIFE
EXPLAINED
On 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?'
So God agreed.
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 agreed.
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 again.
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.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable
information.. I'm doing it as a public service.

I don't know where this came from, but it's a great way to end the week!
