"Don't Open The Box" GUY It's a gift. GIRL How do you open it? GUY It's a box that can't be opened. GIRL I don't get it. GUY The real fun is the anticipation. _What's in the box?_ Isn't it exciting? (short pause) GIRL I don't think it's working. GUY Hmm. I guess anticipation is only fun when you know it's going to lead to disappointment. I suppose knowledge of one's death is the ultimate disappointment. So if you think about it, intelligent life forms would have to be designed this way. In order to enjoy life, we have to enjoy anticipating the ultimate disappointment. (short pause) GIRL Thank you for the most depressing gift of all time.
