Dave Barry:

I'm not thrilled about the possibility of reincarnation, either.  Which
leaves the third major possibility about death, which is that there is
*nothing* afterward.  That would mean that, as far as mortality is
concerned, human beings are no different from cockroaches: One moment
you're scurrying around on the kitchen floor of life, collecting the
Cheez-It crumbs of daily existence; the next moment, you get stomped into
bug glop by The Big Shoe from Above, and that's it, *finito*, you are
nothing more than Purina-brand Bacteria Chow.
