> I was saving that. You do spoil punchlines sometimes, old thing.
I did do that once at a comedy show. :)
It was one of those events where the comedian was interacting with the audience, quite extensively, and integrating a random call from the peanut gallery into their act was part of what they did.
Anyway, he went on a long rant with increasing speed, building up to a punch line, and I recognized what it was going to be, so right at the appropriate moment I yelled it out. The comedian looked a little gob-smacked, but it generated the requisite laughs from others present and, to his credit, he continued on in stride.
> the appeal of neo-fascism; some folk find it a beautiful madness
It's particularly insane when you stop for a moment and ask "given the changes in travel and movement of population in the last one hundred years, what do you think will happen in the next hundred years?"
Do they seriously think that people will be doing less travel and there will be less cultural integration, or more?
