Before Monty Python's Killer Joke there was

 Bushmiller's Sisyphean quest for the Perfect Gag.

Not until he heard that Michele Bachmann thought

he was 'pretty cool' did Michael Bublé give serious

thought to what Camus meant when he said, "The 

only serious philosophical problem is suicide."

Look into the face of U. S. Attorney Mary Beth

Buchanan and you may be reminded of a line

from Camus: "There are crimes of passion and

crimes of logic."

Life was hard enough for Mr. Bill during his Saturday Night

Live years. But when he was forced by economic hard times

to eke out a miserable living as a soccer ball, he began to

reconsider Camus' thesis in The Myth of Sisyphus, namely,

the only serious philosophical problem is whether it's

efficacious to cry out, "Ohh Nooo!!!", before committing suicide.

Illustrated version of The Stranger?"
