But I loved this little book.What that cow story has to do with existentialism may not be immediately apparent, but the authors will make it clear. There's a lot of supposed comedy that I just don't care for at all. People's senses of humor are pretty idiosyncratic, after all. If you're giggling too, then you and I have something in common.If you think it's just dumb, well, never mind. But this silly two-liner on page 120 just struck me as hilarious. "I'm a helicopter."There's humor in much of what I read, but it's usually of the cerebral variety, mild irony or absurdity, witty turns of phrase, that sort of thing even Harry Dresden's wisecracks aren't usually laugh-out-loud funny. One says to the other, "What do you think about this mad cow disease?""What do I care?" says the other. Extended review:Do you think this is funny? Two cows are standing in a field. Six-word review: Wisdom is a fool in motley.
