I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully

Whenever I need a good belly laugh, I turn to my old and irreverent friend, "The Onion", which accurately describes itself as "America's finest news source". Following are excerpts from a classic 1999 article:

Long-Awaited Baby Boomer Die-Off To Begin Soon, Experts Say.

WASHINGTON, DC—After decades of waiting, the much-anticipated mass Baby Boomer die-off should finally commence within the next five to ten years, Census Bureau officials said Monday. "I am pleased to announce that it won't be much longer now," Census Bureau deputy director Arthur Clausewitz said at a press conference. "According to our statistics, by 2009, we should see the Baby Boomers start to die off in large numbers. Before long, we will live in a glorious new world in which no one will ever again have to endure tales of Joan Baez's performance at Woodstock."

The selfishness that has been a hallmark of the Boomers will continue right up to the very end, as they force millions of younger Americans to devote an inordinate amount of time and resources to their care, bankrupting the Social Security system in the process," Clausewitz said. "In their old age, the Boomers will actually manage to take as much from the next generation as they did the previous one, which fought WWII so that their Boomer children could have Philco TVs, Davy Crockett air rifles, and hoola hoops."

I'm not a boomer, but I gotta hand it to them: Although they never discovered the fountain of youth, they discovered the next best thing...the illusion of youth...and don't forget hip and knee transplants.
