Lol, gimme a penny.
Nice! Some intelligent stuff there.
A friend of mine once said: ‘The meaning of life? That’s easy - it’s trying to be as cool as possible’.

Exec #1: Item six on the agenda: “The Meaning of Life” Now uh, Harry, you’ve had some thoughts on this.
Exec #2: Yeah, I’ve had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we’ve come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren’t wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person’s soul. However, this “soul” does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man’s unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.
Exec #3: What was that about hats again?
Exec #2: Oh, Uh… people aren’t wearing enough.
Exec #1: Is this true?
Exec #4: Certainly. Hat sales have increased but not pari passu, as our research…
Exec #3: [Interrupting] “Not wearing enough”? enough for what purpose?
Exec #5: Can I just ask, with reference to your second point, when you say souls don’t develop because people become distracted…

The meaning of life, according to me, is simply: You’re fucked into it and you’re fucked out of it - might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Reminds me of this one:
So a man said to god, “What’s a million years to you?”
God said, “A second.”
So the man said to god, “What’s a million dollars to you?”
God said, “A penny.”
So the man said to god, “Will you give me a penny?”
And god said to the man, "Yes I will…
…In a second."
