He was a sergeant. And b0b was right. Those guys know nothing inside and out. And while they are distantly related to both Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy, they are more directly related to Adam and Eve. Adam and Steve were never able to have biological offspring of their own. They produced........ nothing.

Okay, I just happened to read an article about the origins of humor in Discover (Why Laughing Matters, Jim Holt, July '08, p. 67). It all seems to derive from incongruity. A classic example is the false-alarm situation, where something seemingly fearsome turns out to be harmless - "...the essence of humor is the dialectic between something and nothing, the most universal categories of all." Sound familiar?
The article speculates that humor will last into the far future. The article ends with, "We might laugh even harder at the thought that the end of the universe - its disappearance in a Big Crunch or expansion into dilute nothingness - itself has the logical form of a joke."
Whoa...heavy, dude!

Yes, they specialize in Black Comedy.Fred Shannon wrote:"Ask Nietzche, and Sartre."
Are they related to Abbot and Costello? Think nothing of it.

Down to nothing
There once was a man from Bel Aire
who did it on the stair.
When the banister broke,
he doubled his stroke,
and finished her off in midair.

The topic is NOTHING....stop the graphic madness!!!
Six holes form the Essence of Whistle
that allows the whistle to play.
And yet the holes are Nothingness.
It is the inside of the Tube
through which the Breath of the Player flows,
and yet there is Nothing there.
We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.
We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.
We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.
