(An older man walks out, holding a newspaper. He holds it up over his head for the audience to see)
Can you read this? Or better - can you BELIEVE this?
Some doctor.....and I use the word loosely....some doctor thinks that somebody alive today will live to be....get this!.....live to be A THOUSAND YEARS OLD!
That .....
(He looks at the paper)
....(reading).....that IMMORTALITY is possible! And that we have all the tools!
Can you believe it? I mean I don't believe most of what I see......I remember ...back in the 70s.....when they told us that the population bomb was gonna wipe us all out by 2000! How everyone would be starving by now.......and NOW they tell us climate change is gonna finish us off in 30 years.....and new viruses and new weapons ....I'm amazed we are still able to watch TV!
Oh, wait a minute.....that's one thing that really HAS happened - more TV! More than ever!
Think about everyone out there in Senior Channel land - 1000 years of ads for mesothelioma! And gynomastia and Zoloft and ...and.....super Viagra! With erections that last for a decade!
(Wipes his forehead, takes a deep breath)
Just the thought is scary! I think...maybe that's all for now.....my rant is over......thank you!
(He turns to leave, stops suddenly, looks back in horror)
I just thought of something even scarier! What if...what if I am the person who's gonna live to be 1000..........
(He shudders, then smiles)
Or maybe......that person....is one of ....YOU!
(He points to the audience members, laughing as he exits ......no, as he leaves the stage, maybe he won't exit for another 1000 years!)
