I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should start out dead; just get it right out of the way.

You wake up in a senior care facility and start feeling better every day.

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

You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you're "generally" promiscuous and you get ready for High School.

After High School, you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play or nap all day, you have no responsibilities.

You become a baby with no cares whatsoever.

Then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating , spa treatments, room service on tap, larger living quarters everyday...and then...

You finish off as an orgasm!

It would have to be better that way ...

Because this getting old ... just sucks!
