"Lately, in the morning -you know, just as one makes coffee for breakfast- I have heard many ask, "Why am I still alive? Didn't I have enough of this?" The sound of a glass bottle being placed on the table is heard. "What? I have to pay after I'm dead? And you are going to help me plan my death benefits? -benefits?"
