The Reincarnationist Q&A – Author Jeff Cohen
Thank you to Jeff Cohen, author of A NIGHT AT THE OPERATION: A Double Feature Mystery, for answering this week’s Q&A!
What is your most marked characteristic that you believe could be a hold over from a past life?
A sense of humor much more in line with Groucho and Harpo Marx than with Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler. In terms of comedy, I’m clearly more comfortable in 1933 than 2010.
What is your principle defect that you believe may be inherited from a previous incarnation?
Heartburn. Given my height and temperament, I believe that in a previous lifetime, I was probably Napoleon Bonaparte (especially since his brother Joey lived in New Jersey, so maybe I was Joey Bonaparte). And I think that hand in the jacket thing was due to acid reflux.
Which of your favorite heroes do you think you could have been and why?
I could have been Harpo Marx. Except I like to talk too much.
What three people from history would you like to have over to dinner for a discussion about reincarnation?
John Adams, because he’d make any discussion more interesting. Groucho Marx, because he’d make any discussion more enjoyable. And Abraham Lincoln, just because.
What do you think happens when we die?
People come over and bring cake.
When you come back next time, who (or what!) would you like to be?
I’ve often told my wife that if I come back, I want to be one of her pets. They get treated better than we humans.
