“Question authority” is a phrase that has been around for centuries. It’s a call to think critically about the people in power and to not blindly follow their orders. But what if authority is actually funny?
Think about it. Authority figures are often portrayed as being stuffy, uptight, and humorless. They’re the ones who give us the rules, tell us what to do, and punish us when we break the rules. They’re the ones who make us wear uniforms, sit still, and raise our hands if we want to speak.
But what if authority figures were actually funny? What if they were the ones who made us laugh, told us jokes, and let us have fun? What if they were the ones who encouraged us to be creative, think outside the box, and question the status quo?
That would be a pretty funny world, wouldn’t it?
The above is my approach to the idiocy currently sweeping the nation these days – laughter instead of vitriol.
