Thus I have heard:

"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... Then, you finish off as an orgasm."
