what if.................?

What if....

It would be good to have our life to live backwards.
You start out dead and get it out of the way. Then, you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy;
go collect your pension, then when you start work, you
get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play,you have no responsibilities, 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, larger quarters everyday,
and then ....
you finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case.

Sounds great - although not sure I would want to go back where I came from!!

[WendyS]

Not sure there's much difference either way. You end up wearing diapers at the beginning and at the end, whichever way you play it !

[B00]

Ummm, not sure I fancy being sperm again!

[crete]

yes bald and toothless.

[RATTER15]

I think your Mother would have something to say when it was time to climb back in & what if she didn't want you, not so easy to abort you then.

[netibiza]

I have always thought this would be a better option.

[whiffey]

The big problem is that you know for sure you will end up as absolutely nothing, gone, annihilated.

At least in the conventional order there is some hope of eternal life (so we are told).

[sophie_1003]

i was going to say that ratter! suppose it would always have to be cesaereans (spelling?)

[netibiza]

An afterthought, would we be eggs or sperms - don't want to disappear up a willy.

[Lore]

I think it sounds wonderful. but............here's the thing,
You start off dead - ok... I can live with that!
Then you're more than likely to be getting your botty wiped and possibly even spoon fed
suddenly you have the ability to do so much more although, you still find it difficult to walk a fair distance, your teeth keep falling out, you have very little or no hair and your trousers come up to your chest.
Soon enough you discover a growth of hair, even if it is grey it's still a bit bouncy and actually blows in the wind, you know you're going to have to start working soon but you don't mind because just now you're enjoying your pension that you know you're going to pay back over the next 40 years or so (in debt already, the gits still get you either way!)
Following that you find yourself working day in, day out and no matter how much you miss those days of bingo nights, holidays, days out, not having to pay full price for everything you know that from now, untill you're roughly 19 you're basically stuck in limbo. cont...

[Lore]

19! party time, oh the alcohol, the music, dancing, never going home, meeting lots of people....... 15..... you can't go out anymore, alcohol is banned, you can't go to all the places you once loved, you've been dumped so many times (something else that gets you either way!) you're eating more sweets than ever, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.. you can't see over the counter tops, you have to be escorted everywhere you go, you're sitting in a room full of people your own age getting told what to do by someone who is still enjoying the party years you once knew....9, 8, 7, 6, 5, you can't play out on your own, you're getting told to eat EVERYTHING on your plate 4, 3.... no more mates, no school, no nursery, just you and one or two adults, 2, you need your botty wiped again, 1 spoon fed, again...6mths boobs shoved in your mouth, ( we'll not be taking any comments from the guys on this one!) everything's liquid from now (sounds familliar) 5 mths, 4 mths, 3 mths.. 2mths, 1 mth... OMG DO I HAVE TO GO IN THERE? NOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I think I'll pass! :oP

[zipadeedodah]

Very funny Lore!!

Think I'd rather stick with the usual order of things, definitely don't fancy having to go back UP....

[funkymoped]

mnko, i like your idea......

[Backdrifter]

An old episode of Red Dwarf covers this same ground quite well.

I think it'd be terrible. I'm a much better, happier person than when I was younger. I've got a much better job, I've got more money, I know more stuff. Go back to being broke, in my 20s and hating my job? Having to go out with that nasty little Susan again? No thanks! Then puberty - backwards, mind - school, homework, etc. Yeccch. Steadily shrinking... I think I'll pass on this one.

[Lore]

I just thought of another reason not to go about it this way...

Teeth...

the dentist shoving your teeth back in ... one by one! :o\

[unruliejulie]

Its gotta beat doing it this way round! What a way to finish as well lol

[spudqueen]

There's also an episode of Space 1999 which had an alien race who live their lives backwards.

[-Zorro-]

I loved Space 1999
