"I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed; says life is harsh and cruel; says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight, go see him; that should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke, everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."
