I like silly things. I think that "silly-stupid" or "stupid-smart" might be my philosophy, which is to combine a veneer of intelligence with an undercurrent of crass stupidity.

Or it could be that the punchline itself is stupid.

That's a way of breathing. breathing to sustain looking, walking and looking, through the world, in it.
