The Fairness 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 in the end of it? A death.

What's that, a bonus?

I think the life cycle is all backwards.



(1) You should die first, you know, start out dead, get it out of the way. You wake up in an old age home, feeling better every day.



(2) You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.



(3) You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous (hey, you've only got a few years left, what's the big deal?!?) and you get ready for High School.



(4) Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, and, finally, you become a baby;



(5) The last step, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday, and then........



You finish off as an orgasm.

Wasn't this a car ad?

Dunno. Someone emailed it to me, and I thought it was funny enough to share.

I dunno if you're old enough to remember "Mork and Mindy"... but when they had a son, his name was Mirth (Jonathan Winters) - this was the premise of his life...he was born an adult to age backwards...so that when he was old, people would still want to take care of him.

It was wonderful.

I had my 30th birthday in January, so I do remember "Mork and Mindy", though not with any great clarity. I mainly recall the show as the first place I ever saw Robin Williams (whom I find hilarious). Now you mention it, though, I do believe I recall the backward-aging Jonathan Winters thing.

I just received this bit in email and thought it was amusing and decided to share it in hopes that it might amuse others.
