Dark Humor: 1974
10 Curated Routines1. Watergate Satirist
General Dark"Nixon resigned today. It’s the first time in history a man has left the White House and the only person sad to see him go is his psychiatrist, who just lost his best source of income."
2. Gallows Humor
General Dark"My wife told me she wants to be buried at sea. I told her that’s fine, but I’m not waiting until we get to the beach; I’ll just start filling the bathtub."
3. Standard Satire
General Dark"The inflation is so bad that I saw a man today holding up a bank just so he could afford the gas to drive home from the bank."
4. Medical Wit
General Dark"I told my doctor I was feeling like a pair of curtains. He told me to pull myself together."
5. The "Sick" Era
General Dark""Mommy, why is Daddy in a cage?" "Because he’s a very rare specimen, dear. He’s a politician who accidentally told the truth and we’re waiting for the zoo to pick him up.""
6. Suburban Dark
General Dark"My neighbor is so depressed he decided to end it all. He stood in the middle of the street, but the traffic was so bad he ended up just getting a tan and a ticket for loitering."
7. Era One-Liner
General Dark"They say the new Stephen King book "Carrie" is terrifying. Personally, I find the thought of my daughter’s prom dress bill much scarier than telekinesis."
8. Charles Addams Style
General Dark"I don’t hate my neighbors. I just wish they’d move... to a different plane of existence."

General Dark"Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it, and either way, it smells like regret."
