Dark Humor: 1967

10 Curated Routines
1. Summer of Love Satire
Hippie/War

"Everyone is talking about "Flower Power." It’s a great concept until you realize that you can’t stop a tank by throwing a daisy at it, unless the tank driver has a very severe allergy."

2. Gallows Humor
Hippie/Cynicism

"I went to a hippie commune. I asked what they do for money. They said they live off the land. I asked what they do when the land gets tired of them. They didn’t have an answer."

3. Vietnam Satire
Parenting/Draft

"My son wants to be a conscientious objector. I told him that’s fine, but he still has to clean his room. If he objects to that, I’ll declare war on his closet."

4. Medical Wit
Anxiety/Future

"I told my doctor I was having trouble sleeping. He told me to stop thinking about the future. I haven’t slept since."

5. The "Sick" Era
Shock/Cruelty

6. Suburban Dark
Health/Morality

"The only thing "free" about the Summer of Love is the medical advice you’ll need by September."

7. Era One-Liner
Medical/Economics

"The first successful heart transplant happened. The patient lived for 18 days. It turns out the heart was fine; it just couldn't handle the hospital bill."

8. Charles Addams Style
Misanthropy

"I don't have a bad temper. I just have a very low tolerance for people who are still breathing."

9. Existentialism
Capitalism/Nihilism

"Life is a comedy to those who think and a tragedy to those who feel. To me, it’s just a really long commercial for a product I can’t afford."

10. Dark Wit
Mortality

"If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not the hobby for you."
