Death can only be profitable: there’s no need to eat, drink, pay taxes, offend people, and since a person lies in a grave for hundreds or thousands of years, if you count it up the profit turns out to be enormous.
 
 
не надо ни есть, ни пить, ни платить податей, ни обижать людей, а так как человек лежит в могилке не один год, а сотни, тысячи лет, то, если сосчитать, польза окажется громадная.
