Death joke/Life joke


For quite a while now I've been putting together a number of thoughts, insights and laughs concerning the question of humor (I'm not sure if I've mentioned it yet, but I'm planning to write the lost... - or let's leave it for another occasion). It is envisaged as a take on jokes in the context of Theology (as if there was any other context :) and I decided to deliver something funny, among others, in the New Year.

In the meantime, as you may vaguely remember (the way I do), I tuned in to BBC Radio1*, something that I never do, and listened to cleverly distressing, the way the best comedians are, Nick Helm.

Who, I reaslied while analysing philospophically his gig (as you do), is the illustration of the main point of my treatise that I'm sure I'd be soon looking for to attach to the paper.






(Actually, its such a perfect illustration that - apart from the fact that I love this coincidence - it's stopped being funny for me, as it was originally, and has become a bit disquieting.)
