My next Life

I want to live my next life backwards:

You start out dead and get that out of the way.

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

Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.

Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.

Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you're too young to work.

You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you're generally

promiscuous.

Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you

have no responsibilities.

Then you become a baby, and then.…you spend your last 9 months

floating peacefully in Spa-like conditions.

Central heating, room service on tap, and then …

you finish off like an orgasm
