I feel I have led a life of drunkenness and self-indulgence, but that article makes me feel quite proud.
There can't be many people who have had the pleasure of reading their own obituaries. If I had any personal wealth, this could have been a handy tax dodge. But as a young man I vowed never to make any serious contribution to society, and far less to the economy. As a result, my own death is of no earthly use to me.
