It took me time to realize why writing the below didn't feel right in some uneasy way. That's because, allthough being logically completely correct (I boldly assert here...), what I wrote below completely misses the essence and is therefor just bullshit, which we can have a good laugh about. And that actually *does* expresses the essence: we _should_ be laughing!
