When God
first created man, monkey, and bull, he endowed the man with 40 years of life,
the monkey with 40 and the bull with 20. The man wanted more and the monkey and
bull volunteered to give part of their life spans...
"Twenty
is enough for me," said the monkey.
"I'll
give him ten of mine," said the bull.
And thus
it came about that man's life runs to 70 years on the average, divided into
three periods: first 40 normal years of living; next 20 years of monkey
business; last 10 years shooting the bull.
Somehow
or another, the 10 years donated by the bull, got scrambled when Sailors were
made and the apportionment doesn't always hold true.
