The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

    I hear that in Germany comedy is no laughing matter…

      That is true. We like the Monty Pythons more than anyone else does, we adore them! But we would never diminish this feeling by laughing about their jokes. Instead we do argue for hours about the philosophical implications of a silly walk.

        Yeah, with a philosopher like Beckenbauer that’s exactly what I’d suspect.

        However the efficiency of the killing joke does make one wonder how the primordial laughter gets unlocked. Alas, we’ll never know.
