"I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics
exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me."
Alright. It is April Fools Day. Though I cannot say I enjoy this "holiday" I figured I should keep it nice and light for this day of jest. This little joke from Woody Allen is brilliant. It highlights the intangible essence that is metaphysics while also acknowledging the potential absurdity of being taught a subject which is so abstract.
Woody Allen (1935-) is an American comedian, screenwriter, director, actor, author, playwright, and musician. Allen began his career in the 50's writing jokes for television and publishing several humorous short stories. In the 60's Allen performed standup comedy and was unique for his emphasis on story telling in his neurotic stage character. He advanced to directing films in the mid 60's and has subsequently become one of the most respected writers/directors in the film business.
