Forty-two

The answer is simple, it’s 42. The question, however, is a bit tricker.

Life has no meaning. Its purpose is its perpetuation. Feel free to reproduce or not. But do understand most other life does not care about you or your offspring.

Yep, it’s 42, just ask the mice.

Life…don’t talk to me about life….(Marvin)

Hey I do not play a bagpipe but heard professional’s play and played right bagpipe sound great.

To survive, grow, and reproduce before dying. The rest is gravy, so grab your biscuits and mashed potatoes and enjoy the time you have here. Don’t forget your towel. : )

@JustjokingRight it is a secret; TOP secret. I could tell you but then I would have to kill you.

Loving someone means wanting what’s best for them,even when that means leaving them.

It doesn’t mean anything, it just is. Autumn leaves, birds flying, the river of procreation, the sound of music… Excuse me for waxing.

I have an answer, but it’s not suitable for a family comic strip.

Wally probably is not allowed to play his trombone at home, so this is heaven for him: A boat, a lake, and a trombone is a getaway for him even if his son and his nieces are drifting along too.

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.- Mark Twain

I just love Wally. He’s my favorite character! Also to bhoidas you can stop your religious preaching. One or two sentences is fine, but ten paragraphs?? To Alan Watkins, I agree, life just is. It’s going to work everyday, taking care of family and pets, and paying the bills. Later it’s taking it easy filled with hobbies you didn’t otherwise have time for.

For that I have no idea Holly.

Forget the “Meaning of Life” — what I want to know is the Meaning of Wheaties.

A few other videos, but the sound is abominable, so this will have to do !

Life is a terminal disease.

Life? It’s the cereal the Mikey likes!

When my grandson was around seven, we were at a Harvestfest celebration in Glenbeulah, WI, sitting under a tent and listening to a little oom-pah group playing while we ate ice cream. My grandson was sitting in front of me. Suddenly he yelled out, “Why doesn’t anybody in the whole universe know the meaning of life?!”

Maybe it has something to do with brass instruments.

The meaning of life: to feed the kitties!

They sure do. Our marching band played together with a bagpipe band ones. Was funny and sounded really good :)

The existentialist answer is that everyone gets to define the meaning of their own lives by the way they live them. In short, life is what you make of it.

According to my dad, the purpose of life is to do as much good and as little harm as possible, and have fun doing it.

another meaning of life — enjoying that final wafer thin after-dinner mint.

if life is a river, your heart is a boatand just like a water-baby, baby, born to floatand if life is a wild wind that blows way on highand your heart is Amelia dying to flyheaven knows no frontiers, and I’ve seen heaven in your eyes(“No Frontiers”,Jimmy MacCarthy)
