I Started a Joke

Yes, the truth is out. Because of my prudent attempt in my previous post to diffuse any potential lawsuits for indirectly persuading impressionable youngsters to be an IDIOT like me, I unwittingly exposed my diabolical agenda for this blog: this is my endeavour to be funny.

Alas, like most revolutionary geniuses, my words are seemingly devoid of any form of humour whatsoever, considering the hostile responses in the place of laughter (aside from a few polite sniggers) that should have ensued.

Either that, or the world is now bereft of any merriment to comprehend my wit.

Obviously the latter rationale is the more plausible one of the two, and therefore reminded me a classic ballad by the Bee Gees, although not as melodramatic. This is the perfect illustration of how great minds think so much alike, since it was rumoured that this song is inspired by Hitler's ideology (attention G-Sus). Talk about being open minded enough to see past the façades and adopt another's perception!

To those peculiar ones who do not acknowledge the Gibb brothers as one of the musical scene's trend-setters, if not one of the all-time greats, do not hesitate in clicking the 'play' button. This is an old school video when they were still in their harmonic soft rock phase. I must apologize to the shallow MTV generation though, for this clip is not much to look at, especially with the production quality that you are all so used to.

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

Till I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

Till I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

P.S. Rest in Peace Maurice. You are still remembered.
