Were I a nerd, I might posit a theory about the dread of returning to work on monday and its proportionality to the square of the fun you’ve had in the previous weekend. I’m not that nerdy, though, and the joke will go unmade except through oblique reference.
Now, the philosophers could have a field day with this one. Has the joke been made? In my mind the joke exists in a sort of ‘potential form’ but it hasn’t actually been formulated. When does the joke actually count as having been made? Once I write it down? Suppose some reader of this website (you poor bastard, you) constructs the joke on their own in their minds? Has the joke been made? Or has the reader merely made a joke, but not the one I was going to make?
I don’t think I’ll lose too much sleep over it…
