Looking for some classic articles to read

More than 60 years ago, a friend told me a joke that made me laugh so hard that I ended up in the hospital because of severe stomach pain. Before the doctor performed the operation on me, he asked me why I was smiling like this, and I told him. He laughed wildly after hearing this, and finally died of laughter.

I was taken to court. The judge asked me to tell the joke and let the jury decide whether it met the factual conditions of manslaughter. I asked to sign an exemption contract. The judge adjourned the case and reopened the case one day later, announcing that he had accepted my opinion. So, I told the joke in front of the court. As a result, some people laughed so much that they knocked on the table, and some people rolled on the floor with laughter. Later, everyone who heard the joke that day died laughing.

I became a celebrity instantly, and reporters from all walks of life asked to interview me. I knew that telling this joke might cause public harm, so I said vaguely to the camera, to the effect that That is: "Reason is always a lie, belief is always masturbation." After the program was broadcast, it caused a huge response. Unexpectedly, one day, a few mysterious plainclothes men broke into my bedroom and dragged me into a dark room. After a long time, a bright light shone on my face. I forced my eyes open and was stunned to see that the person sitting in front of me was the only person currently as well-known as me - the President.

The president roughly explained the purpose of arresting me, which was very simple: to record the joke and send it to the dictator of a hostile country in the Middle East to laugh him to death. I had no choice but to agree to his request, and at the same time pointed out that this joke is a weapon of mass destruction and cannot be targeted at civilians. The president agreed.

Two weeks later, the president announced that he had mastered the key technology of the joke and successfully tried it in the desert. This caused an uproar in the international community and caused many countries to panic. International military experts named this "laughing deterrence". At this moment, a country in the East suddenly announced that it had mastered the joke, and the guy who told me the joke defected to that country. Thus, a "laughter-deterrence balance" was formed between us.

Three years later, on April 1, what I had been worrying about finally happened: a terrorist organization in the Middle East stole the original technology of that joke. As a result, civilization has suffered unprecedented destruction, and governments in various countries are in panic all the time. The United Nations had no choice but to hold a global summit and finally set April 1st as April Fools' Day. .............- -
