I could flay you and wear your skin as a cloak, and caper in the streets in the moonlight. But some might consider that crass treatment of a guest.I nod.Well, some people got no sense of humor, do they?I am one of those people.

The quote reflects a darkly humorous exchange, showcasing a character who expresses a twisted sense of amusement regarding a gruesome idea. The suggestion to flay someone and wear their skin is exaggerated, highlighting a macabre wit that some might find inappropriate. The response emphasizes the character’s lack of appreciation for such humor, suggesting a deeper discomfort with violence and its implications.

This dialogue illustrates the tension between different perspectives on humor, especially when it crosses into the grotesque. The character's straightforward acknowledgment of their serious nature contrasts with the other person’s flippancy, emphasizing how perceptions of acceptable behavior and jokes can vary significantly among individuals.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
