From: "Lulu of Comedy" Subject: The Animal Kingdom It seems that when the Creator was making the world, he called man aside and bestowed upon him 20 years of normal sex life. Man was horrified. Only 20 years! But the Creator didn't budge. That was all He would grant him. Then He called the monkey aside and gave him 20 years. "But I don't need 20 years," said the monkey. "All I need is 10 years." Then man spoke up and said, "Can't I have the other 10?" and the monkey agreed. Then the creator called the lion aside and gave him 20 years. The lion said that 10 would be plenty. Again man asked for the other 10 and the lion agreed. Then the creator called the donkey aside and gave him 20 years. "But I don't need 20 years, " said the donkey. "Ten years is all I need." Once again man asked for the other 10 years and again he received them. This explains why man has 20 years of normal sex life, 10 years of monkeying around, 10 years of lion about it, and 10 years of making an ass of himself.
