Woody Allen summed up his Adult life with two simple jokes:- There's an old joke... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness and it's all over much too quickly. The other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious", and it goes like this I'm paraphrasing, um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.
Although I don’t think I could possibly match him, I would have to say the following two jokes/quotes describe my adult life pretty well:
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"/I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"/ she said "Excuse me please?"/ "Just kidding" I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"

Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.

By the way: Isn’t the Cure’s “In Between Days” one of the greatest New Order songs you’ve ever heard.
