Here's A Little Song I Wrote, Hope You Learn It Note for Note ...

I
keep saying to myself, "This picture is not funny. This picture is not funny."

And yet every time I see it, I laugh.

I am a bad person.

Didn't that Twain guy say something about sacred cows and hamburger?

Well, you're a bad person, anyway. So am I.

maybe this is why I got a different classification than you did on the humor test you posted awhile back.

no urge to laugh at all.

in fact, I found it hard to focus on anything past the mother and child in anguish to see something potentially amusing. Is Bush playing a guitar funny enough that it outweighs the sadness of the tragedy depicted?

Yeah, I don't know what is funnier, the close up of the weeping woman who has lost god knows what (or who) or the background of homeless, hungry, grieving people. I am laughing so hard I am crying . . . wait, no, maybe I am just crying.
