As a comedic form,

a "shiv in the belly" is nothing. It's completely artless. Anyone can do it, even some common street thug.

I am going to go back to basics and start crafting some simple, setup/punchline jokes. The proper contrast of a punchline against a setup causes an involuntary paroxysm of laughter in the primate brain. Laughter feels good. So let's spoof that brain response just for the sake of doing it.

So even though the setup/punchline construction is very simple, maybe it's what the doctor ordered for us all. ...because we are all so very, very sad. And the laughter would do us good.

So let's forget the social commentary and the name-calling and the beatings for a while. Let's just see if we can laugh again.
