At length Candide broke it by saying: “Gentlemen, this is a very singular joke upon my word; how came you all to be kings? For my part I own frankly, that neither my friend Martin here, nor myself, have any claim to royalty.” Cacambo’s master then began, with great gravity, to deliver himself thus in Italian: “I am not joking

context of the present adversary system, or must the system be radically changed? Ralph Nader recently wrote: The best lawyers should be spending their time on the great problems--on water and air pollution, on racial justice, on pover­ ty, on the joke that ordinary rights have become-but they are not. They are spending their time defending Geritol, Rice Kris­ pies, and the oil-import quota. Was he merely pleading for a more balanced deployment of lawyers or was he implying that lawyers who serve

to seemingly mock itself (not "take itself seriously"), while in fact mocking convention, it serves as a viable and cathartic "solution" to the creative double-bind. Beethoven, a gruff master of this sort of thing, wrote his Diabelli Variations as a joke, and Rembrandt depicted the hero of Samson Threatening His Father-in-Law as himself, and also included himself among the soldiers engaged in crucifying Christ (The Raising of the Cross).

tropical à l’arctique. Le laissant à son remake personnalisé de Un chat sur un toit brûlant, j’essaye d’ignorer son irritation, son impatience, et sa nervosité. Je sors le livre que j’ai amené avec moi : Vol au-dessus d’un nid de coucou. C’est une private joke : les personnages de ce bouquin me rappellent le patron. À l’heure du déjeuner, Natalia prend le risque de sortir de la cambuse réservée au personnel de vol, elle affronte le patron et lui propose de manger quelque chose. À voir la tête qu’elle tire

insects, the dull glass of the headlamps, a hundred eyes staring at nothing. A scratch. Metal had scraped against metal. It came from the right, from one of the cars in a nearby row. Which row? Which car? He tilted his head back as if responding to a joke made by his companion, letting his eyes roam across the windows of the cars nearest to them. Nothing. Something? It was there but it was so small, barely seen … so bewildering. A tiny circle of green, an infinitesimal glow of green light. It moved

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, “I am a leader, in a house in the lowest place of Paradise, of the people who leave the argument even they were right. I am a leader, in a house in the middle of Paradise, of the people who leave the lies even though I was a joke. I am a leader, in a house in the highest place of Paradise, of the people who have high morals.” 4 - Narrated by At Termethy (2002) and approved by Al Albany in Sahih Attargheeb (2641) - Narrated by Abo Dawood (4798), Ahmad (24492), and approved

en particulier aux contingences sociales, le rend comique, quelles que soient ses qualités propres; c'est là l'exploitation du comique de situation. Cette transposition du prochain dans une situation comique peut être des plus réelles (a practical joke), si, par exemple, on lui lance un croc-en-jambe afin de le faire tomber gauchement, si on le fait paraître sot, si on exploite sa crédulité pour lui faire accroire des absurdités, etc. ; ou bien cette transposition peut être simplement fictive, réalisée
