for a man of 55 who didn't get laid until he was 23 and not very often until he was 50 I think that I should stay listed via Pacific Telephone until I get as much as the average man has had

We don’t even ask happiness, just a little less pain.

In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky; if not, green grass.
