Dead Funny

Text of the day: “The comic traditions of this small island are the envy of the world. France has its rural whimsy. America its Jewish wit. Belgium its Belgiums. No, but seriously. One nation stands out when it comes to comedy. Ask a Norwegian, a Canadian, a native Australian, they’ll all tell you; the English are funny.” (Richard in Terry Johnson’s Dead Funny)
