There is a saying that hoes: "Those who plant dates, do not harvest dates". That's because date palm trees take 80 to 90 years to bear the fruits.

Once a young man met an old monk planting dates and asked: "Why are you planting dates if you know you will not harvest them?"

Wisely the old monk replied with a kind smile on his face: "My son, go eat a fat ♥♥♥♥. The yard is mine and I plant whatever the bloody hell I want."
