READIN

Jeremy's journal

A memorandum-book does not, provided it is neatly written, appear confused to an illiterate person, or to the owner who understands it thoroughly, but to any other person able to read it appears to be inextricably confused.

James Clerk Maxwell

🦋 A punchline in search of a joke

It happens frequently that a pun or malapropism -- or just funny-sounding phrase -- will occur to me as something that could be most humourous, were it preceded by the right introduction. What that introduction should be, almost never occurs to me; and when I do think of something it never sounds right -- does not communicate humour in any but the most labored fashion. But I want to be funny!

I sometimes think I should write all of these punch lines down, and accumulate them until something is born of the mess. For now though I will go on letting them leave my mind as quickly and effortlessly as they came.
