There is a story of three fellows who are considering what they would want to do if the doctor told each one that he had six months to live. The first fellow says, “If my doctor said I had only six months to live, the first thing I would do would be to liquidate my business, withdraw my savings, and have the biggest fling on the French Riviera you ever saw. I’d play roulette, eat like a king, and most of all, I’d have girls, girls, and more girls.” The second fellow says, “If my doctor said I had only six months to live, the first thing I would do would be to visit the travel agency and plot out an itinerary. There are 1000 places on earth I haven’t seen, and I would like to see them all before I die: the Grand Canyon, the Taj Mahal, Angor Wat, all of them. And the third fellow says, “Vell, if my doctor said I only had six months to live, the first thing I vould do vould be to consult another doctor.” -Isaac Asimov
