"I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says: ‘Treatment is simple. The great clown - Pagliacci - is in town. Go see him. That should pick you up.’ Man bursts into tears, says ‘But doctor… I am Pagliacci.’
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."
