Backwards!

I know the jury is divided on the films of Woody Allen.  I think his droll introspection and myopic view (on himself) and on the human society is pretty refreshing.
And anyway it’s pure storytelling, and compelling.  Also, Woody Allen plays the clarinet on Mondays in New York with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band.  Surely that in itself is redemption.
Here’s a unique perspective and a nugget from the man.  I had posted this some 9 or 10 years ago..

In my next life I want to live backwards.
You start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then you wake up in an old people's home
feeling better every day.

You get kicked out for being too healthy,
go collect your pension, and then when you start work,
you get a gold watch and a party on your first day.
You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, 
then you are ready for high school.

You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play.
You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born.

And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day - and then Voila!
Bam! You finish off as an orgasm!

I rest my case.
