Kind of confirms my feeling that humourless people must be avoided. Can you imagine sharing a meal with Donald Trump, Madonna and Elon Musk? Thanks for posting that!

The horrifying fact is that, yes, I can imagine that. I just wish I couldn’t…

One interviewer said once about madonna after having interviewed her: "She was a cold piece of matter."

This text is very entertaining. Thank you very much. One part I found particularly good: "Very often, a joke is a sudden revelation of the reality behind the appearance. In intention, perhaps, a joke can be kind… but the execution? Well, it is called an execution."

It is funny that I have never noticed before that some terms related to humour have a violent connotation, such as execution or punchline.

Hank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And you have made me regret not writing a sentence or two about ‘punchlines’.
