You can either "put your money where your mouth is" and really follow through on what looks like a misery tour by googling all the statistics on all the causes of death, find out how many people of Earth die every minute from every terrible thing you can imagine, and really rid yourself of joy, OR you could lighten up.

I took the road less traveled then, I found not only the statistics but also the cause of their suffering. I shall not lighten up, nor shall I use comedy to make me forget about real world problems, problems which there should not be a blind eye turned towards. Such would make me apathetic and bitter, my days of watching Seth Mcfarlane are over I am afraid, and I am the better for it.

Have you ever sat and waited with good people with terminal diseases as they slipped away?

I have.


Have you ever had to watch a patient die despite every effort you make?

I have.


Have you ever seen the body of a little boy so badly burned that he's barely recognisable as human?

I have.

Until you have too, please don't tell me about using humour to get through problems.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
