Life is a cosmic joke only I understand...

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Part I

"God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh."

Voltaire

Spoiler alert for later: the jokes/punchlines are scripted around the observations. It would all still be "real" even without them.

Well .... damnit.
