Funny Because It's True

Recently someone said to me, You call yourself Grumpy, but you're not really grumpy, are you.

No, I replied, I'm not grumpy so much as... perpetually, deeply sad.

And they laughed and laughed as though I had made a joke.

Even the jokes aren't jokes. Except that they are.

Life itself, it seems, is a joke. Just not a very funny one.
