What is the Meaning of Life?

Some time ago I watched a TV interview of a Hollywood notable. One of the questions posed was “What was the most important thing you learned from your father?” I do not recall the response or who the notable was. I do recall my own response to the question:

“It is 5:00am and time to milk the cows.”

This brings to mind the following exchange between an acolyte and a guru:

Acolyte: “Oh wise master, what is the meaning of life?”

Guru: “My son, have you had your breakfast?”

Acolyte: “Why yes, great master, I have.”

Guru: “Then do your dishes.”
