Are we alone in an uncaring universe, or is God some kind of wiseguy?

The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore.

Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, 'D'oh!'

I didn't lie, I was writing fiction with my mouth.

But we all had an agreement to let each other get away with everything! That's Capitalism!
