The irony of life

"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, alcohol, 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 floating …and you finish off as an orgasm."
