Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar

アホらしいタイトルですが、本当にこんな名前の本があるんです。

最近、自分の浅さに絶望気味だったので、ちょこっと夏だからってことでPhilosophyのクラッシュコースでも始めよっかな？と思って読みました。この本は「コメディ」と「哲学」、本来あいまみえないはずのものを融合したなんともいえない快作でした。といっても、あまり面白くもないジョークもあったり。とりあえず、僕が気に入ったのを何個か載せます。

God appears to Adam and Eve in the Garden and announces that he has two gifts, one for each of them, and he would like them to decide who gets which gift. He says, "The first gift is the ability to pee standing up."
Impulsively, Adam yells out, "Pee standing up? Hot dog! That sounds really cool! I want that one."
"Okay", says God, "that one's yours, Adam. Eve, you get the other one -- multiple orgasms."

Adamの"Hot dog!" にやられましたね。

A guy walks into a crowded bar and announces that he's got a terrific Polish joke to tell. But before he can start, the barkeep says, "Hold it right there, buddy. I'm Polish."
And the guy says, "Okay, I'll tell it very, very, slowly."

ははは。

そうだ、保守的な日本社会ではこれは絶対に分からないと思いますが。

A man witnesses his son in a terrible bicycle accident. He scoops up his boy, puts him in the back of his car, and racec to the ER. As the boy is rolled into surgery, the surgeon says, "Oh, my God! It's my son!"
How is this possible???

実は僕も引っかかりました。皆さんはどうでしょう？

最後に、

"My grandfather knew the exact time of the exact day of the exact year that he would die."
"Wow, what an evolved soul! How did it come to him?"
"The judge told him."

あはは。 It's all in good funですね。

目標としては、長い間持ってたけど積み本状態になってたMachiavelliの"The Prince" と Moreの"Utopia"ですかね？
