Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.

Life can be challenging and full of hardships. It's easy to get lost in the darkness and feel overwhelmed by the tough times we face. But amidst all the struggles, there is always room for humor and laughter.

When things seem bleak and the world feels heavy, a joke can be like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. It has the power to lift our spirits, even if just for a moment, and remind us that there is still joy to be found in the midst of chaos.

Humor is a coping mechanism, a way to find lightness in the darkness. It allows us to take a step back, see things from a different perspective, and find a sense of relief in the midst of our troubles.

So, as we face the challenges that life throws our way, let us not forget the power of laughter. Let us embrace the darkness, but always remember to sprinkle in a little humor to lighten the load and keep our spirits high.

Because in the end, it's the ability to find humor in the toughest of times that truly defines our strength and resilience. So, make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.
