showing question #39

question from dave tindall

Why do I keep on coming back here all the time ???

You’re a wise person, obviously. Some people resist the overwhelming urge to experience the gubbins again and again. They will regret these actions in later lives. Sitting in their armchairs, waiting for the nurse to bring them afternoon tea, they will ask “Nurse, why, when I had the chance, did I fail to experience the gubbins?” The nurse, being used to elderly regrets, will give them more drugs and watch while they drift to sleep, never to awake.

This question was asked on 21 June 1999 and answered at an unknown time.
