standup routine (in the style of demetri martin)

so you know how sometimes when someone dies they say "he died doing what he loved", like that should make you feel better for some reason. maybe it does. but i don't know if it's always true to say that.

think about a surfer who was eaten by a shark. sure he liked surfing. he was surfing before he died. but he died from being bitten in half. i don't think he loved that part. (it's unlikely).

or think about a skydiver. what he loves is falling for a bit, then coming down gently under his chute. he probably didn't love the part where he died, you know, hitting the ground at terminal velocity... (screaming... trying to untangle his cords...)

of course sometimes it is right to say that, to say 'he died doing what he loved'. suppose the guy loved shooting up smack... or, say, playing russian roulette.. in those cases, sure...
