#(T+t)=C #TragedyPlusTime
You know you shouldn’t, but…
It is often said that the formula for Comedy is nothing greater than Tragedy Plus Time. So, following this morning’s fortuitous recording of the tragic beating of a six year old child by a member of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, I decided to put this to the test.
In the interest of full disclosure and to remove an unwanted variable I should add that whilst I have since discovered the little Maisie suffered no long term effects from her ordeal, I was unaware of this at the time.
“(T+t)=C”
(for the experiment the acquisition of ‘C’ is defined as the production of Laughter where ‘C+’ is defined as Laughter plus an involuntary bodily function such as the excretion of a little bit of wee.)
I initially timed this out @ +0.1.2586 seconds.
I then waited exactly ten (0.10.0000) seconds before donning a white lab coat and watching the video again.
Acquiring ‘C’ @ +0.0.3572 seconds, and ‘C+’ @ +0.0.10892, soiling said lab coat.
Thanks for giving us a laugh, Maisie. I hope you got lots of sweets, and an Xbox.
