You know, when I was alive I would have found her attractive.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A wry, slightly morbid joke from someone who talks as though they're no longer living: back when they were alive, they would have thought a certain woman attractive. The humour is in the deadpan way being dead is treated like a past stage of life with lost tastes.
