There's an old joke.
:00:50
Two elderly women are
at a Catskill mountain resort.

:00:53
One says, "The food at this place
is really terrible."

:00:56
The other says,
"l know, and such small portions."

:00:59
That's essentially
how l feel about life:

:01:02
full of loneliness, misery,
suffering and unhappiness...

:01:06
and it's all over
much too quickly.

:01:09
The other important joke for me...
:01:12
is one usually attributed
to Groucho Marx...

:01:15
but it appears originally in Freud's
Wit and lts Relation to the Unconscious.

:01:19
lt goes like this, l'm paraphrasing:
:01:21
l never want to belong to any club that
would have someone like me for a member.

:01:26
That's the key joke of my adult life
in terms of my relationships with women.

:01:30
Lately the strangest things
have been going through my mind...

:01:34
because l turned 40, and l guess
l'm going through a life crisis.

:01:37
l'm not worried about aging.
l'm not one of those characters.

:01:40
But l'm balding slightly on top. That's
about the worst you can say about me.

:01:44
l think l'm going to get better
as l get older.

:01:47
l think l'm going to be
the balding, virile type...

:01:50
as opposed to the distinguished gray.
:01:54
Unless l'm neither of those two.
:01:56
Unless l'm one of those guys with saliva
dribbling out of his mouth...

:01:59
who wanders into a cafeteria with a
shopping bag, screaming about socialism.
