"Let me conclude.
After all, I would not want to evoke the feelings that a doctor once gave to a patient who craved immortality.
The doctor informed the patient that immortality was beyond the reach of medicine, but the patient was insistent:"Is there nothing I can do?"The doctor replied:"Well, there is one thing. You could marry an economist and move to North Dakota.""And that will make me immortal?""No.But that way, even six months will seem like an eternity."
