THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
=======================================
"The most unfair thing about life is that it ends. I mean, life is tough.
It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of life? A death!
What's that - a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should
die first and get it out of the way. Then you live in an old-age-home. You
get kicked out when you are too young, you get a gold watch, and you go to
work. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go
to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities,
you become a baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months
floating peacefully and then you finish as an orgasm."
