funny?
so
Toonman and i
are talking
stuff
you know
somehow
we got into
what's funny
somehow
was
him
saying
he's trying to come up with a toon
me offering up scenarios
morphed
into
him
telling
me
about someone we know
who
moved into an apartment
in a
high
high
high rise
Toonman
saying
how he cant handle
even
being near windows
46 floors up
his friend
telling
him
it also has a terrace
Toonman
put the kibosh on that
no way
would he
go out
on a terrace that high
friend said
yeah
a cat actually fell off a terrace two floors below
i interject
i suspect
the friend's son
who tried to help rescue the cat
probably
scared it
making it fall
Toonman doesnt think it matters
i say
there's another toon idea
he says its not funny
a cat falling off a high rise terrace
isn't funny
i look at him
i say
when
did the man
who
in another creative life
co-wrote
a skit called
'television for the blind'
stop finding dark humor funny
he paused
considered it
saying
the idea is funny
til you know
that a cat
actually
fell
i say
well, there you go, another toon idea
then
i got up
walked over to my computer
and
wrote this post
do you find humor in things
which in reality make you uncomfortable?
do you 'get' dark humor?
