READIN

Jeremy's journal

We say to the apathetic, Where there's a will, there's a way, as if the brute realities of the world did not amuse themselves each day by turning that phrase on its head.

José Saramago

🦋 A punchline in search of a joke

It happens frequently that a pun or malapropism -- or just funny-sounding phrase -- will occur to me as something that could be most humourous, were it preceded by the right introduction. What that introduction should be, almost never occurs to me; and when I do think of something it never sounds right -- does not communicate humour in any but the most labored fashion. But I want to be funny!

I sometimes think I should write all of these punch lines down, and accumulate them until something is born of the mess. For now though I will go on letting them leave my mind as quickly and effortlessly as they came.
