Deep Thoughts about Life by Jack Handy

[gene]

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alchohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months warm, happy, and floating…you finish off as an orgasm."

Strangely, I now understand why I like to have dessert first. It's how life intended it.

Gene - nice title! You've probably had it for a while, but tonight is the first time that I noticed it. "Supreme Slumlord" just wasn't your thing, huh?

Hey, now. Way to pollute a thread that so innocently started off with a first post ending in "orgasm."

Darn monkeys come in and mess up a good thing all the time.

Well, since you can't do the Benjamin Button thing, Gene, you can certaintly do the following. It's kind of long, but kind of interesting if you can pull it off.
