Why George Carlin suggested we live our lives backwards

GEORGE CARLIN, ON REVERSING LIFE'S SEQUENCE

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.
You 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 luxury, in

spa-like conditions: central heating, room service on tap, and

then...
You finish off as an orgasm. I rest my case.

G.C., wherever you are, I bet the Top Dogs can't get you to stay in line, and I bet the laughter still surrounds ya
