Life

[Shades]

I want to live my next life
backwards!

You start out dead and get that
out of the way right off the
bat.

Then, you wake up in a nursing
home feeling better and better
every day.

When you are kicked out of the
home for being too healthy, you
spend several years enjoying
your retirement and collecting
benefit checks.

When you start work, you get a
gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years or so,
getting younger every day until pretty
soon you're too young to work.

So then, you go to college:
play sports, date, drink, and party.

After that you're at high
school, become very popular
because you are so mature, you’re an

excellent athlete after your
experience in college, and then
first love is not your first,
so you know how to handle
yourself.

As you get even younger, you
become a kid again.

You go to elementary school,
play, and have no
responsibilities.

In a few years, you become a
baby and everyone runs
themselves ragged keeping you
happy.

You spend your last 9 months
floating peacefully in luxury,

spa-like conditions: central
heating, room service on tap.

Until finally...You finish off
as an orgasm.


I rest my case.

Martin Amis wrote a book, Time's Arrow which dealt with the same idea. The main character experiences life in reverse order, starting with death and ending with birth.

Amazing. Finally people that think the same way as I do. I've had that thought for many, many years. By the time we figure it all out, we're too old to do anything about it.
