It might seem like there isn’t much to laugh at sometimes, with humanity’s brutality, cruelty and stupidity, war, famine, greed, exploitation, violence, hate.
But if you can laugh, if you're lucky enough to still have that capacity, then it’s the great saviour really.
If there is a god, I think its voice is laughter. Not snide schadenfreude laughing at other people's misfortune laughter, not embarrassed fearful snickering, but great, shaking, tears running down the face, belly clutching, roaring laughter that won't be held back. Helpless hilarity at the sheer idiocy and wrong headed unnecessary complicated stupidness of it all.
Anyway, Monty Python’s a bit dated now in some respects, but this song still hits the spot.
