Comic book guy and the wise man

Comic Book Guy walks along the road 
reading a comic book 
CBG: But Aquaman, you cannot marry a woman without gills, 
you're from two different worlds. 
(CBG sees missile approaching) 
CBG: Oh, I've wasted my life.

7
All man’s efforts are for his mouth,
yet his appetite is never satisfied.
8
What advantage has a wise man
over a fool?
What does a poor man gain
by knowing how to conduct himself before others?
9
Better what the eye sees
than the roving of the appetite.
This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind.
10
Whatever exists has already been named,
and what man is has been known;
no man can contend
with one who is stronger than he.
11
The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
12
For who knows what is good for a man in life, 
during the few and meaningless days he passes 
through like a shadow? Who can tell him what 
will happen under the sun after he is gone?
Ecclesiastes 6:7-12
